Hi Richard, et al...
How about 300 million people building from low impact local materials?
(Apprx the population of the US and Canada). A great portion of folks in
the world are already doing it. We don't pretend to be or care to be
"autonomous". But, you are right, I don't care to be a part of a high
density, urban population. I personally believe (as Freddie Hubbard said in
"Sing a Song of Song Mai") that the crowd is the untruth.
