Oh, come on. 2/3 of food choices in america are wasteful because of their packaging, 92% of transportation in america is wasteful because its inefficient, and we spend twice as much on healthcare while being ranked 36th globally. If you want a Sierra Club debate, go elsewhere. This is a conversation about a few neighbors controlling everything from security bars to door colors because they have a penchant for red brick in a community that is a majority of modern structures and 70's brick-as in the 1970's.
Faux history and faux historical connotations may be a great combination for some neighborhood neophytes, but their reasoning is equivalent to those who try to bring up an environmental debate within a conversation about legislation regarding a nimby district.

There are plenty of sustainable options and anybody with any sensibility about the world we inhabit should really try and find other solutions other than vinyl.
