Do you realize the infrastructure required to support your "green" urban living ?

The changes to infrastructure can eventually be carbon positive or at least carbon neutral with improved quality of life. Properly designed cities have less energy consumption and co2 per capita because of economies of scale. Consolidating people encourages that behavior.

What infrastructure is needed for urban living that is not needed much more for suburban living?

Instead of public transportation you have many, many cars. Isn't that worse?
