Here in 10%-er Ann Arbor, a lot of lip service is given to being “green”, yet the topic of wealth inequality and the role it plays in things like CO2 emissions, consumption levels, or lack of affordable housing is off the table. When I remind city planners that the vast amounts of concrete (but one example) going into the 1000’s of YUPPIE condos being built represents the world’s most energy-intensive building material… crickets. 1 1/2 baths for every bedroom being built - represents huge potential for water waste…silence. No one want’s to admit to it or even talk about it, I guess they are all to busy making money?
