The Jefferson = Green Sprawl

Here is what JPI says on its "The Jefferson at Saw Mill" website:


"JPI is committed to the stewardship of our environment and will use sustainable building practices and materials to the maximum extent possible in the design and construction of the property." 


Notice there is no mention of using true sustainable sources of energy like solar power.

What good is being "green"  or "smart" if you are in the wrong location?

What we have with The Jefferson is a "high density island" cut off from any real neighborhood.

You cannot walk to a bank, a library or safely to a grocery store. No public infrastructure

improvements are planned to make it a true bicycle oriented development. Oh, it has 438 parking

spaces.

So lets just call it "Green Sprawl at Saw Mill."
