An unnamed blogger on February 11
branded the climate initiative as “Bloated
Bureaucracy.” The anonymous Internet warrior
homed in on potential requirements that
“all home sellers make costly improvements
prior to the sale of their house…Housing in
Austin is expensive in comparison to the majority
of Texas. Many people complain about
this fact. Will it serve Austin to increase the
sale (price) of a home to contain the cost of
these mandated improvements? This program
will increase government, cost more
money, make the sale of a home more diffi
cult and lengthy, deter home buyers from
buying in Austin, and will put money into
the pockets of special contractors.” (See

This might be considered just the isolated voice of a libertarian or conservative ideologue, except it is likely to find an echo in the powerful homebuilding and real estate industry. So far, the associations of home builders are holding
their fire, awaiting the outcome of structured stakeholder input and city task forces.

I guess this is kind of cool. I don't know that my words can be called "the isolated voice of a libertarian or conservative ideologue." I am sure there are plenty of other intelligent people out there who don't believe we have to be forced to save money and do the right thing for our environment. If it is such a good idea, people will follow.
