• Overcoming the Social and Psychological Barriers to Green Building (2008, unknown): “These homeowners have been shown to subsequently reject expanding mass transit to maintain the exclusivity of their suburban lifestyle and support subsidies for private transportation—furthering environmental degradation (Kahn, 2006, p. 110).”
