We actually have several of those villages. One of them is near my house, Eden Village. Tiny houses paid for by social security benefits with an onsite social worker.

CU actually gets almost half of their energy from renewables. I think it's 45%. They buy from an energy coop they belong to, and for years they've increased the wind and solar in that portfolio. They've also got a solar farm of their own, customers can choose to have their power come from that.

Definitely agreed on the green spaces and vertical gardens. The most attractive cities I've been in all have that in common, they seem to go from city to forest and back again seamlessly. It's one of the reasons I chose my neighborhood, though sadly they've been taking out a lot of the forested areas lately.
