Wait, I just looked it up and I think I was talking about exurbs this whole time.

What about little seaside coastal villages?

Maybe I'll try living in a census-designated place instead.

Usually populated by colorful eccentrics and/or werewolves iirc.

there are some pretty walk/bikable ones and some haven't even been completely fucked by the typical late 20th century streetscape refurbishments. if you can live in one without having to make a trip to walmart every other day, why not?

I have a... likeminded friend who goes vacationing w/ his wife in a coastal jersey city that's very well-designed for walking, narrow streets etc. I forgot what it's called. I don't think there's anything better about living in brooklyn w/ a car than living there without one.

werewolves legitimately need a big lawn and a lot of space to run imo

trying to figure out if my parents' house out in the middle of the woods is destroying the earth based on this thread

I think maybe yes?

a little bit

is there a bank of america branch attached to their house?

Not Destroying the Earth

dan im guessing your parents are not off the grid and are not farming using sustainable practices

and are liberal

You know the fertilizer, pesticides, and any other products used on that lawn are running straight into that body of water and probably into their ground water, too.

dan, do your parents shit in the yard? impt q

not to mention their septic system
xp haha

nah they shit in YOUR yard

DAN, ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT YOUR PARENTS SHIT

man, anything that sparse isn't going to cause anyone problems unless there's a hidden farm field right behind the treeline

Pretty sure that's not true, mh. My hometown lake has been shown to be measurably affected by lawn run-off, and there are hardly ANY yards going down to the edge because most of the shore is forest/beach/boat docks. So just a handful are poisoning the ecosystem for the whole lake.

My parents got satellite TV around 1997 so I guess they're fully on the grid now? I don't know if Dad is using sustainable practices on his vines; I assume so? I've never seen him spray anything.

They shit in the yard by septic tank proxy.

x-post It kind of all depends on the density of houses around a lake, how large the actually maintained yard space is, and the water table. Oh, and size of the lake and whether it's a feeder for a stream or whatever. There are a few lakes around this region that are fairly well-populated but fine, and a few that are silted-in messes.

I was raised near a lake that won awards as one of the cleanest in America. I'd drink out of it bare-handed before I gulped down some of that Hudson sauce.

I have watered/fertilized my lawn exactly never

way to destroy the earth John

If I ever put down any more grass seed to fill in the bare spots, I will water it a little. But that might require me to mow more often, which seems really environmentally unsound, so I think I will leave it be.

No fertilizer or pesticides in my yard either.

Did bury my dead cat back there last week.

Live cat kept getting out, though.

Is the cat in a box? If not, instant fertilizer

really.

Jesus Christ, I spit on my monitor.

Our yard is 90% moss with some grass growing in it.

Oh yeah. Sometimes I try to claim that my lawn is "native plants".

haha i also do this

yo I just wanna point out that this is the best post ever on this thread:

werewolves legitimately need a big lawn and a lot of space to run imo

thats why that american werewolf in london was so angry iirc

iatee a total hero itt as always

lol yeah forgot that he literally called each person who chooses to live in the suburbs conservative - outrage at that was totally righteous

he inspired me to submit to my condo association the names of every old lady who didn't walk to CVS.
