These considerations mean I can sleep in longer, I avoid traffic, and I pollute very little.

People aren't you. There are some people who in your area travel 3-4 hours everyday to have a paying job. You should know that what you're proposing is next to impossible in most major metropolitan markets where housing is a huge expense. It's not as simple as waving your hand and decreeing it be so.

Not only have I lived in a basement, but I liked it. Not only did I like it, but I'm actually seriously looking into earth sheltering as an option.

MORE! I WANT MORE! MUHAHAHA!! But seriously, the more solar panels are produced, the cheaper they will be. That's the ultimate goal: cheap solar panels for everyone.

I don't want solar panels. Our buildings house 1657 units. There isn't enough area on top of the buildings to give enough electricity to make any real impact, except the cool hip factor of saying that your building is "solar". We also don't have enough sun days here in NYC to justify the costs. We do studies every couple of years to see if it is feasible.
