Calling all academics! Calling all academics!
We need more research into the ultimate of modern, sustainable living: caves! This article from the LA Times explains how millions in China live in caves and love it (<prog OFF> this reminds me of a quote I heard about why soccer is so popular around the world - it's like saying dirt is more popular than gold since more people have access to it <prog ON>).
Now mind you, these aren't the ancient dwellings of our proud (and environmentally-conscious) ancestors - these are modern, hip abodes. Some even have running water! So let's fire up the research presses and start printing new insights into how marvelous caves are! I call on government grants to fund this research for the good of all.
(As an added bonus, think of all the shovel-ready jobs that will be created digging them)
