It would be if I hadn't lost that lamp. But really, people should take it into consideration, though. What do you do again? Something with computers?

They take it into consideration, they look at how much money they get paid and how much mortgage or rent they can afford. Now what? They realize they cannot live close to work. I can walk to work. These are MY sacrifices and quality of life. Again, my quality of life is not yours. Some people think I'm nuts to live in the city. I think they are nuts for having a 2 hour LIRR train ride.
so there we are. you wave your hand and now what? Just because you say it doesn't make so. Just because you considered it and it may be a possibility and choice for you doesn't mean it's an available choice for everyone.

No, but having a refrigerator and water heater better insulated, like they would if they were in in the ground, would help to make them a lot more efficient.

Starting with a refrigerator, they are pretty efficient. They lose efficiency when people open them. I believe you are fishing for feelgoodness versus reality.
You shouldn't be driving your tuned mitsu I mean you can do so much more than the gas mileage that gets, why aren't you driving a Geo? Because you choose differently.

That's a myth. There are plenty of basements in California, they're just required to meet a higher standard by the county they preside in. I have a basement and a bomb shelter myself. Both survived the 1987 earthquake without a scratch.

Funny how that's where you meant. I didn't mention earthquakes because they aren't the concern. Building a basement costs more money than not building a basement. Building a basement addes additional cost to an already strained housing price.

You don't need "sun days" to create electricity. Thick meto areas like those you live in could be compensated for by building solar arrays in desolate areas with plenty of sun (Arizona and New Mexico?). What I'd like to do is have people pay into one big fund and then build for everyone, but everyone hates how well socialism works, so build your own.
|
Oh right, desolate areas, so far away and we'll rely on cables to bring that electricity to our fair city. Well then, there's no reason why we aren't doing that already isn't there? Or maybe there really is a reason.
