Very smart to put solar panels on each unit. I hope the residents will be allowed to plant some flowers, bushes, and trees to brighten up the area.
This is in my town. They are allowed and encouraged to do so. Their place is THEIR place, it fosters a sense of community and ownership of the community.
This project really kicks ass and it's making waves. I know the guy is a millionaire, but I've listened to a few interviews and his heart is at the right place. He genuinely cares and is being pragmatic about it.

It's actually not as crazy being a tech millionaire nowadays since so many people build a great service and then just have it bought up by the competition.

A million will get you a home in just about any city. Whether it's a really nice one or not is the question.
