At some level this is an empirical question: do the benefits of platinum standard construction (echoing LEED) outweigh the necessity of using a car to meet daily needs? My gut instinct is "no", but I'd think that one ought to math it out.
We don't have to guess. The average GHG emissions in the region come from transportation. Around 50%. Even if they manage to lower their other emissions to zero (local only) the best they can achieve is around 50%. And yes, maybe their transportation emissions will still be lower than their peers, but their peers are in the township which will already be above folks in the city.
And I don't know who is "cancelling" them, I haven't read that anywhere in this thread.
