The U.S. government is stepping in with millions of taxpayer dollars to create affordable places for Americans to work and live. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development last week announced nearly $100 million in new grants "to support more livable and sustainable communities across the country." Forty-five regions will receive various amounts of the funding through the new initiative, which aims to connect housing with jobs, schools and transportation. “Regions that embrace sustainable communities will have a built-in competitive edge in attracting jobs and private investment,”

“Sustainable” is much more insidious than that.

You lose your freedom to travel.
You lose your right to private property.
You lose your freedom to use energy.
You lose your freedom to grow food.

Go here for some details on “Agenda 21” from the UN. “Sustainable development” is simply a code phrase for the UN controlling all land use.

Good grief, more ‘housing projects.’ It’s been proven the don’t work. They get built, the inhabitants trash ‘em, and they get imploded. Nice waste of money, there, Obozo!

NOT IN MY BACKYARD!!!

Fascinating. Thanks.

A half dozen cardboard boxes under an interstate overpass would also constitute a “sustainable community”.

Okay, where’s that hilarious photo of the trashy campers/trailers all piled up like ‘condos’ — love that pic!

Digging into the Buy-a-vote ‘Stim’ slush fund right before an election. Rush Limbaugh was right [as we knew he would be].
