The term "sustainable community" sounds warm and fuzzy. Who could possibly oppose a sustainable community? "Sustainable" means something that lasts – or is sustained – forever. When the term is applied to "community," one might conclude that a sustainable community is one that will last forever. One who draws such a conclusion in today's world would be wrong, terribly wrong.
The term "sustainable community" is an offspring of the term "sustainable development," which was coined by the World Commission on Environment and Development back in 1987, and refined in Agenda 21, adopted by 179 nations (including the U.S.) at the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development in 1992. Among the first recommendations found in Agenda 21 is the recommendation that each nation establish its own program of "sustainable development" to implement all the recommendations in the 40 chapters of Agenda 21. President Bill Clinton complied with this recommendation when he issued an Executive Order to create the President's Council on Sustainable Development.
What the term "sustainable development" really means is development that is dictated by or otherwise approved by government. The term "sustainable communities" means communities that are dictated by or otherwise approved by government. Those who doubt this reality are invited to read Chris Dodd's Livable Communities Act (S. 1619), and then read Agenda 21. There will be no doubt where Mr. Dodd got the ideas for his bill.

What liberals really mean is you should live your life as the government deems fit. “Sustainable community” is a buzzword for servitude to the state. Let’s not be fooled.
Meanwhile, rural communities where people plant gardens, raise chickens, and have access to firewood -- these are areas which must be abandoned as unsustainable for human habitation.
Have I got this right?
would that also include Auschwitz
Yup. They hate people who live in areas like mine. You know them country types are not reliable. People need to live where they can be carefully watched.
‘Sustainable Community’ equals Population Reduction.
Pol Pot was a BIG believer in ‘Sustainable Communities.’
Nope.
What liberals really mean is you should END your life as the government deems fit.
Once they have you locked in your oh-so-pleasant sustainable hovel, complete with public transportation and surrounded by a lovely greenbelt rampant with predators and incapable of providing food, then they can cut the power and watch you die of starvation and disease with no escape.
Well.. let me take that back. Selling is a thing of the past. Now we just get them rammed down.
The same UN Agenda 21 that said the US landmass can only support 26 million people (10% of its population at the time, before uncontrolled and illegal immigration pushed the total over 300 million).
The question not answered was how to dispose of the other 90% of the US population.
Easy. Abortion on the one end and death panels on the other end. The middle can be taken care of through policies that make it unaffordable for them to have children. They thought of everything and have a plan to get there.
Correct. Programmed apocalypse.
What the term "sustainable development" really means is development that is dictated by or otherwise approved by government.
The term "sustainable communities" means communities that are dictated by or otherwise approved by government.

These codes go far beyond building and fire safety codes. They include: residential, property maintenance, energy conservation, wildland interface, and other behavior modification codes.
A sustainable community is a community around which government draws an Urban Boundary Zone (UBZ) and forbids city services to be delivered outside the UBZ, prohibits new construction outside the UBZ, and requires residents within the UBZ to live in housing that meets the size and cultural integration standards set forth in the code or comprehensive plan. Sustainable communities are high-density communities where automobiles are discouraged, and bikeways and walkways are the alternative to public transportation.

A small tidbit from a small rural town near me: instead of just widening a rather well-used road out of town, the town and state used the project to install more water and sewer and extend their tenticles. Fair enough, that is their right. But they are also adding bike lanes on a rural road on which nobody in their right mind is going to ride a bicycle. We do get a few suicidal morons from the city on some of our rural roads, but even if they choose to ride on that stretch with bike lanes, they will end up on a suicidal road where the bike lanes end.
And we use guns to defend ourselves.
And what if you want to leave? You can’t.
