First leave off with the insults and the racist comments, you demean yourself by talking that way.

Now.Did you see the pictures in post #13? Rural living is not an option for smart growthers. There are two hands to human habitation according to the sustainable development plans developed by the United Nations and enforced by the DOE, the EPA and other federal agencies. The first is the wildlands project-- run humans out of the country and force everyone to live in high density mixed use highly controlled cities. Then second is smart growth-- high density mixed use highly controlled cities where you are a renter not an owner of any property. To smart growthers all cities should be as dense as Hong Kong, all rural areas should be bereft of humans.

You can see by the new urbanist design where the visioning of communities are going. See how tightly packed the development is? What good is open space if humans are never allowed in it? How can humans be taught to respect nature and the earth if they are not allowed to freely move about on it? New urbanists like the idea of separating humans from the great outdoors, they want humans to be afraid. Thats why the visioners and planners for America's future are releasing wolves and mountain lions into areas where they haven't lived in a hundred years. They want ranchers and farmers to lose their animals when the wolves attack so they fail economically and give up their use of the land. They want to terrorize people living on the outskirts of the cities and be afraid that they, their children or their pets will become prey to mountain lions while playing in their own backyards. They stop irrigation and cut off water to those who farm the land so it will have to lie fallow and stop providing an income for its owner.

Humans that fear nature don't go out into it. That leaves rural land for the global thieves who want to lock it up with biosphere reserves and heritage areas and wildlands.

From some of the language you use, you sound like you've bought into this anti-human agenda. I wonder if you are an American citizen?

Bravo! You can add the APA (Adirondack Park Agency in New York State) to the list. This is pretty much what is happening here.

Just recently, a major company sold thousands of acres to a "sportsmen's organization with ties to U.N. affiliated NGOs. Also recently, the town surrounding our city dropped an attempt to rezone an certain area to 42 acres. Familes who'd lived there for decades would no longer have the option of leaving acreage to be split between their children.
