EMISSIONS

A lay assessment: Emissions are one thing. Not planning better what services were provided to produce them, or how better to design the flow of emissions, would be something different. I’m assuming that particulates in the air caused by emissions don’t, by themselves, lead to GDP growth.

TURQUOISE TRAIL

It's glorious outside. Driving on Dinosaur Trail let's you see some lovely fringe landscape--the northward bank can be high enough that you can't see past it, and it becomes a linear display of grassy spikes mixed with tiny shrubs mixed with glowing, crumbling earth.

It makes you wonder why you need all that stretch of open land along the Turquoise Trail. The answer for me is what makes our scenic trail so special. It gives you the sense of infinite openness. You sense space expanding infinitely. Meanwhile, tiny fringes like those you see in the city, cut up and fractured by buildings, force you to appreciate infinity in ever smaller things. What we have in the Turquoise Trail is the ability to balance these two extremes within a single landscape.

RV HOUSING

Trevor Burrowes Maybe some of these discussions could wait? In the unlikely event that high rise apartment in EPA would ever be feasible (for any demographic), it wouldn't be feasible any time soon. Apparently, the current group focus is about moving the needle in the direction of affordability for the lowest income group citywide. If so, setting a very tiny, reversible example might be helpful? There was talk about locating some RV's in a church yard? Perhaps obviating need to buy land? What if this limited project, requiring no new, permanent construction, could be done so well that the community would love it and help to support more?

I'm wondering if a roof shed on posts covering a modest number of RVs--like an elongated carport--could be rigged; whether the RV entrance doors could open alternately to the outside and to a community bathroom; whether such a bathroom could access the church's septic system; whether that system's enlargement, providing it was necessary, could be subsidized; whether all of this could avoid any excavation (all of it resting on piers, all of it above ground--of course, RV tires are virtual pylons).
