		<description>I visited the Discovery Center and several of the homes.  There are solar panels on every home, energy management systems too!  Very impressive.  Only community where I could find a builder who would certify the home to a REAL construction standard for green (LEEDS or EFL)  It really is fiber to every home.</description>

		<description>What a joke of a neighborhood.  For being a "green" community, they sure are taking down a lot of trees in the surrounding woods.  But then again, it is Land Tejas...that's what they do!  Plus, the jobsites where the homes are being built are a complete mess with trash and debris all over the place.  Certainly not appealing to potential buyers...however, there's not even a decent entrance off Riley Fuzzel.</description>

		<description>Back around the turn of the century, during the dotcom bubble, I worked for a Land Tejas front company(ClearWorks) which was created to bring "smart home" technology to the masses. 

At the time LT's Canyon Gate at Northpointe was touted as &lt;b&gt;"The first all-digital and intelligent community is being built anywhere in America".&lt;/b&gt; Even though the intelligence never did take hold much past the idea stage. 

It was a way for LT to promote their communities by throwing around some popular buzzwords and acronyms of the time... smart home, intelligent communities, bundled digital services(BDS), Fiber to the home(FTTH)yadayadayada.

I wonder if this is the game Land Tejas is now playing with this new, solar-panel badged community and all the buzz around being "green"?
