For years, industrial sites that once fueled the city’s economy have sat idle and deteriorating in and around residential areas. Now, the brownfields are presenting an opportunity for residents to re-invent their neighborhoods.
I agree with Inyo. Another part of energy conservation and more sensible use of limited resources will involve reversing the decades-old trend of working 40 miles to 200 miles away from home, and making long daily commutes one person to a vehicle. I don't see how that pattern can continue.
For may years, due in part to cheap energy and the export of good paying jobs, local rural economies have been destroyed. We need to value people and enterprises that take the risk of blooming where they're planted. Try to do more business locally, buy locally grown foods, choose locally manufactured goods and services, etc.
