Urban Earthships?

in steempress •  6 years ago 

I've been watching and reading @eco-alex's phenomenal series on earthships over the past couple weeks:

I've actually seen this seminar a few years ago, but it's great to review.

But I just had a thought.

Why not go to a place like Detroit to build a whole bunch of earthships?

Detroit is interesting because the local government has essentially collapsed and cannot afford services for large swaths of the city. But an earthship doesn't need external services. As a result I think it would be a good pitch to the zoning types to ease pressure on the city.
