Paolo Soleri + storm water management in LA + Maryland

-Stormwater mangement put LA and Maryland in the news last week. LA has new rules with incentives for cities to spur projects that filter and/or capture rainwater. This makes a LOT of sense, as LA has been starved for water for decades...and their situation is only bound to get worse.How they will pay for this great idea is a whole 'nother question.

Maryland property owners will be getting a stormwater discharge fee, might we see some green roof incentives, like in Minnesota, to green the roofs and alleviate fees?

Lastly, Paolo Soleri died last week. Most known for his Arcosanti project, you could very well call his blend of lean architecture and ecology, which he called "arcology", a close permaculture relative.
