I question, ultimately, how green this plan will be in practice. Primarily because inserting that many people into a natural environment will always cause a detriment to the eco-system. I appreciate that they are working hard to counteract the consequences they know will exist when residents are introduced; however, I have found that it is a challenging marriage between commerce and the environment. Best wishes on the challenge and I hope it can be a success. I think this rendering is beautiful and it is a noble and well thought through effort.
