I helped secure additional @EPA Brownfields funding for the Camden Redevelopment Agency to clean up and revitalize local lands. Protecting our communities from harmful waste and turning these sites into valuable community assets for our neighborhoods is a priority of mine.

Fair enough, except leave biodiverse brownfield alone (make decision on ecological survey) as some brownfields massively more valuable for biodiversity than some farmland greenfield.
There are estimated to be around a million empty homes in the UK and over a million for which planning permission has been granted but haven't been built. Plus it is estimated that there is space for 1.2 million homes on brownfield sites. Leave our greenspaces alone @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

At an old steel site in Pittsburgh, bacteria evolved to survive – and eat – industrial pollution
Decades of pollution at Pittsburgh brownfields left bacteria that evolved to survive it – and maybe help clean up contaminated soil.

We’re treating wildlands as empty space.
Solar on rooftops, brownfields, or cropland is progress.
Solar on intact habitat is loss dressed as virtue.

Again -you are talking in general terms (and I'm as aware of the issues as you are) but not addressing your exaggeration implying we're paving whole deserts.
Much resistance to solar here in the UK, even though they use less land than golf courses - you put fuel on that fire.
