Who's building that well insulated flat and where is the insulation coming from?

I sometimes worry that the pyramid of infrastructure and labour required to create that flat is not scalable

I just did it. Definitely possible. Every project is a compromise. The biggest and easiest compromise to make is location.

Opportunities are everywhere if one is looking and prepared.

I don't understand why so many people choose to believe things are impossible.

How's public transport and bike infra?

we have a bike path that crosses town and the next town over is working to connect. Once tbat is connect it will be 22 mile bike ride to pittsfield.

Public transit exists but luckily there arn’t many places to go.

If it’s not within 3 miles mostly likely you have to travel 20 miles. This helps keep the carbon footprint low because it is easy to go without.
