A smaller house is good for the planet. HMMMMM, what a concept. Maybe why I live in a 1500 sq. ft. house.....it has nothing to do with what I can afford. I like your thinking, if you lived around the corner would love to have you around for a BBQ and a nice glass of wine! Live small, ride a bike, contribute, do it as much to teach my two young boys good lessons. More should do the same. This planet of more, bigger and ego - is not a good thing. West

Not that I disagree with your live simple idea, but... Imagine a county not building the sports stadium at all, leaving it to private interested parties to raise the funding. Taxing everyone for non essential wants is a big part of the problem. Let everyone who wants a stadium make donations for it. What can't be raised via donations should be financed via admissions and vending and advertising. Public stadiums costing in the hundreds of millions are a criminal act against freedom of choice, since they extract funds without consent via taxation.
