[quote=CA renter]Could not agree more. I also have a problem with using potable water for toilets. Not sure about you guys in SD, but my DH and I remember well the drought in the 80s up in LA. One has to wonder why haven’t we done anything about it in the past 30+ years? It’s not like we’ve ever had abundant water supplies here.
Same goes for solar, too. All recent developments should have had solar installed on the roofs, IMHO.[/quote]I agree about the water part, but solar, I totally disagree. It’s totally a personal choice and how you use it. Why increase tens of thousands of $ to the cost of the house if it doesn’t help everybody. Some people don’t use enough for solar to make sense right now. So, why force them to buy something they don’t need. The builder got it, which is why they haven’t done it on a wide scale.
