I'm checking my Gmail and saw an RSS article from ZDNet that there are actually buyers out in San Francisco that want a Green or more substainable home. It wasn't until I accidentally watched the "Dirty Jobs" episode in which Mike Rowe goes on a San Fran trash pick up. I was amazed that San Fran recycles something like 65% of their waste. That's impressive.
Here's the article about what buyers are going to be more concerned about in the future.
Wouldn't it be great if more cities were as proactive in the recycling efforts as San Fran? I just read a very informative post by Stephanie Edwards-Musa The Woodlands, TX Real Estate regarding LEED and "Green" homes. You should check it out, too.
