You know central planning is probably not a great idea. Anyone remember the Great Society? Look how well that turned out.

I wonder if they might consider adding a ‘beef up yur bunker’ incentive or tax write-off at least.

‘”Our nation is facing a number of significant problems, including a struggling economy, an explosion in home foreclosures, the looming threat of climate change, an increasingly worrisome dependence on foreign oil, deteriorating infrastructure, and, yes, worsening traffic congestion,” he said.’
All brought to you by the same ideological bunch pushing this legislation! The fix is always far worse than the cause.

Great. The same people that gave us our decaying inner cities are now going to implement centrally planned cities. This cannot end well.

I am sure Old Waitress Sandwich has no intention of living in one of his "livable city" hellholes.
Here are some "livable cities" the government has created in the past:
Pruitt-Igoe
Cabrini-Green
Not to mention the many wonders of government-run Section 8 housing.

That is precisely what they want to do.
Shove us all into high density cities, and eliminate rural America, no matter the cost.
That is the liberal nirvanna.

Central plan your land, your house, your health, your business, your money but other than that you live in a free country.

Dodd described the bill as combining housing development, public transit, and infrastructure and land-use planning into one comprehensive approach to city development. Currently, many of those decisions are made separately from one another, and Dodd and others said the partitions have led to urban sprawl. No, all of your planning has turned most city centers into @#$*holes which cause each generation to want to move further away. You say national urban planning and I start looking for some farmland to buy.
