Yeah sure, I know that I'll receive a bunch of junk from you guys but hey, some cities are a little more advanced than the article says. For instance I live in Greensboro, NC which happens to be last on the list. I'm glad that we made it and all but there are some things that the article doesn't take into account like the fact that Greensboro already has its own Green Hotel: The Proximity Hotel. It's not something that has been planned for the future, unlike the rating Boston got for something it doesn't have already, it is here now. I'm actually doing an investigative study through the International Baccalaureate Program on the Proximity's facility, it's quite interesting. It is going for its Gold LEED rating and will eventually go for Platinum, the first building ever. Also, Guilford County, where Greensboro resides, just bought $15 million of land from a developer to save it from becoming parasitic suburbia and made it an extension of a state park. I am not trying to raise the status of my city, however, I just believe that the study was not comprehensive enough to allow the average city a fair chance. Also, the article only provides a list but no real data and information about the other cities and why they received their respective rating. At least make it available on the internet or something. Plus this would be helpful for my IB Group 4 Project which will help me compare other Green buildings to the Proximity Hotel.
