Her essay sets up Gib Prettyman's "Daoism, Ecology, and World Reduction in Le Guin's Utopian Fictions," a reassessment of the importance of Daoism to Le Guin's novels that offers a contradictory approach to Suvin's and Jameson's intense focus on capitalism as the critical moment in Le Guin. Prettyman shows how Le Guin paints a very successful portrait of "yin utopianism"--Le Guin's use of a reinterpreted Daoist framework to "challenge ego-logical frameworks by appealing to ecological ones" (61-62).

"The total inventory of properties is more vulnerable," agrees Guin. "The building codes are not as stringent as Florida." Several states, such as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, are moving toward adopting better building codes, but that still does not take care of the tremendous amount of property value trapped in older construction.
