Democrats spending $4 billion to promote density? That sounds about right.

It’s also very useful for what the left likes best about government power -
punishing your enemies and rewarding your friends.
Whose property will be made worthless because of rezoning
and whose will be made more valuable?

The legislation is designed to prod local communities toward high-density, public transit-oriented neighborhoods that concentrate large numbers of people into small geographic areas connected by train and bus networks.
It's been a while since I read it, but I'm pretty sure this description was used somewhere in Dante's "Inferno".
Progressives loathe the fact that we are free to roam about in our cars, listening to what we want, making choices about where to go and what to do, and living in woodsy rural areas where streets have no sidewalks. In other words, they hate that we can get away from THEM. They can piss off.
"Live free or die" is taking on renewed meaning.

While Commissars like Dodd luxuriate in their spacious dachas in the country, the wretched proles get to eke out a subsistence living in dreary block housing built by union labor with inferior foreign construction materials. Sounds familiar. Still think they aren't really Communists, America?

Dr Ron Utt at Heritage has done a lot of research on this, although it seems that Freepers already understand the scam.

The bill creates $4 billion in neighborhood planning grants for sustainable living projects and a new federal office to oversee them.
So much wrong...so little time....
Why does EVERY BILL have “a new federal office”??!?? Are they saying that federal employees are so overburdened with work that they can’t take on any extra work?

I would highly recommend that EVERYONE here go back to the seventies and read the fantastic book, The Russians, by Hedrick Smith. I read it before my first trip there in ‘77 and it was SO helpful and eye-opening.
Mr. Smith wrote a sequel after the offical ‘fall’ of communism, but you all should really read The Russians, now in paperback.

Nope — well before the ‘08 election I already KNEW they were Communists, as did many of us here.

I’m thinking an ACORN bumper sticker would result in a positive outcome for many under this scheme.

I read it back then, too (I was in college at the time - dating myself, I know). I also picked up The New Russians (the follow-up) back around 1990, and it helped explain the social realities behind the collapse of the Soviet state. As implausible as it would have seemed back then, we're heading in the opposite direction. At least until November...

Yep. Most of us who frequent this IP address had Obama’s number a long time ago. Sadly, that didn’t stop the propagandist media from bamboozling many others into thinking he was a smart, competent, centrist unifier when in fact he was none of those things at all.

Back when I was working, I would make occasional calls on Montgomery Ward, who’s headquarters was near Cabrini Green. There were times we drove past that project, but would never, ever, consider stopping for a red light...
