Oh bullsh*t. California cities have the worst imaginable sprawl and outside like SF and Berkeley have dismal rates of commuting by anything other than single occupant car.

Bakersfield??? I am calling bullshit

If San Jose is the greenest, I don’t want to visit the worst. When I went there, just felt like a giant suburbia, with more cars than people. Honestly it was pretty embarrassing for the tech hub of the USA to have such crappy public transit.

This is subjective nonsense. So NYC, which has more people using public transit and high density living than anywhere else, doesn’t make the cut? But Chula Vista made it?

Curious how San Jose ranks 8 in environment and Seattle ranks 54…

BS

One thing this clearly doesn’t take into account is how much sprawl and lack of multi-family units there are in California, which means everyone has to drive everywhere, which defeats the idea of „green cities“ in my opinion. Let’s be real, NYC is way more energy efficient than any other American city just purely based off the fact that it’s so condensed and everyone uses public transport.

Did they negatively weight commuting habits so that good is bad and bad is good?

Bakersfield being on this list at all tells you everything you need to know.

Immediately I thought that “green” meant park and tree cover. Apparently this ain’t a single metric for the ranking here, lol.

Load of bullshit. Bakersfield is surrounded by a mad max hellscape of oil rigs, thousands and thousands of them – all vegetation has been cleared. Search ‘Bakersfield oil fields’ on google

portland 51 in environment wtf?

Isn’t Honolulu the most fossil fuel dependent city? I know the state is number one.

In Denver we sometimes have the worst air quality in the entire country
maj0rdisappointment on
Denver routinely has bad air quality, a few times most years some of the worst in the world… But yet made this list. LOL
PurpleButtonUp on
Denver? Really? With Suncor up in here?
Oh it’s our lifestyle that ranks us high. We are way low on environment. Not sure who ranked our transportation high either, that’s not true.

… Buffalo?? No way.

Oh California, mistaking policies for reality again.

San Jose my ass it’s like 99% car sprawl. No city in California except for San Francisco proper should be on this list

Bakersfield!? Clean air!? Lmao!
Bakersfield have some of the worst air quality in the country!

I’d be curious to see what criteria was actually used in each of these categories. Because these results feel wrong

The Greater New Orleans area used to be such a richly green, tree-filled metro area (extending out to all the suburbs and neighboring Parishes, including Jefferson Parish) before Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Flying in to the City in the months afterwards was heartbreaking. When I went there about 6 months after the storm, I heard chainsaws continuously when I was outside.

Sacramento air quality during Camp Fire several years ago should disqualify it just for that.

Seattle ranking one of the lowest for environment is beyond laughable and whoever made this should be embarrassed

Buffalo? I’ve been there numerous times and I never really noticed. Is it really that green?

Greensburg, KS, did not get wiped out by a tornado and reinvented as an eco-city for this.

What does energy source mean, and why do all those California towns tie? Solar?
