Clean Slate
Point Reyes, California
Backstory
On the coast of California lies a small town, Point Reyes. Not very populated, but popular with tourists. Point Reyes was hit with a major earthquake measuring a level of 8.5. beating the record of 7.9 in Fort Tejan. The town didn't know what was to come, but when all hope was lost, the mayor said, " We wil grow back greener". This is what gave Point Reyes, a clean slate
Before and After
Before, the houses were made from brick and wood and concrete, now to reduce damage caused by earthquakes, they are using Base Isolation. Which is pretty much making the structure "float" above the foundation using, lots of springs and bearings.

Hydropower
Since Point Reyes is on the coast and has the whole ocean next to it, why not use hydropower.
Solar Panels
Not only are we changing the houses to 1 change, but to 2! California is known to be hot and sunny, so why not take advantage
Wind Energy
The ocean is breezy and is just what the wind turbines need.
