Hello Mr. Wolf, won't you please sit down?

You as an individual can always, of course, declare a building moratorium on your own land.

The problem is that getting everyone else to agree to a building moratorium on their land. Usually building moratoriums are presented by people who have built on their land and want to prevent others from building. So while a building moratorium might sound like a simple and elegant solution I have trouble imagining it actually being approved by the citizenry. But that does not mean it can't be done or in the eyes of some need doing. It takes a lot of energy to accomplish a 180 degree change of course for a society.

Easter Island may indeed ultimately be the planet's future. If I had to bet on it over time it would probably be a good bet. What we can accomplish in a practical way in the here and now concerns me. Small battles like getting the PCDP approved and implemented are very time and energy consuming. Radical theories such as roundabouts take up a lot of air but have little traction with the powers that be. Why build things that do not require electricity? Radical.

If you have ideas that you believe are solutions then the burden is on you to bring it to pass. Jay appears to operate on his ideas. It is not easy to get progressive things done here.

The single most important Hawaiian lesson I've been taught by my 93 year old neighbor has been "little by little".
