I do as well. I think that incentives and a market based approach will lead to a more “internalized” sustainable culture that will become self replicating. The stick only makes people cringe.

Arlington has definitely had a lot of success in LEED buildings, sustainable design et c. I like the carrot approach rather than the stick and bonus density coupled with the market seems to have worked.

Lets just hope that Richmond, and other municipalities look before they leap and do this correctly. If not, it could lead to several steps in the wrong direction.
