    QuoteThis whole model is unsuitable for anyone who lives in Manhattan or downtown Seattle, even the rich folks there who might be able to afford it.

    QuoteEV transportation and solar powered homes are still held out as the Holy Grail for the Green Amerikan, like 2 cars in every garage and a white picket fence were the grail of post-WWII subdivisions like Levittown.  The Amerikan Dream for everyone.  Everyone never got that one, and even fewer will get this one.


    Exactly right, but if your social position is comfortable enough you can practice the 'rising tide lifts all boats' logic of self-deception.  You can say fuck the boatless with a smile.

    Being in a social position to be able to say such shit is a fantasy for most people.  In that fantasy Imagining such an attitude to be "OK" is a common delusion.  In fantasy anything goes. 

    To that Buddy C sez:
