I’m sure this is a nice house to live in.
But this house doesn’t question the demands of single-family homebuyers that make suburban sprawl so problematic.
I see just another suburban house, not very compact, with a garage for three cars and no neighbours in sight.
What exactly makes this house so ‘eco-friendly’ ?
