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 few years ago I got to goofing around with a few of these type of folks in an exercise in how to develop a truly “sustainable community.” If was sort of sad and sort of funny as we discussed and worked out way through the ideas on which one would develop such a community as a modern entity.

There would be no automobiles within the community, but there would be a “check your car here,” spot on the edge of the community. All things considered an acknowledgment at the time was modern people would still maintain modern needs. Things like doctors, dentists, hospitals etc.

High density was discouraged contrary to the Agenda. The “community” again had to acknowledge sufficient space was needed for farming both the family plots and large scale food sources as for the general community use.

So far so good right? Well things really devolved when the conversation turned to waste removal. As a truly sustainable community than it would need to be zero waste, zero emissions. So, as discussion began of what to do with the composting toilet requirements, testing, and each unit owners requirements to meet community standard for black/gray water water disposal...it became very apparent to the modern liberals ...the rules/laws/bylaws and their invasive nature were not what they desired either.

As I had been designated to “write up” the waste plan for our fictional community I submitted drafts for their review. I did not create any new rules or laws, but simple used existing regulations from the EPA, RCRA, etc.

This is where it got really, really quite sad and very funny. The howls of anger coming from the LIBERAL wing of the group was deafening. It was so very bad that MSN groups at the time had to shut-down the community.

What I learned from the experience was these liberal dreamers really have no idea what their desires destroy. When, in a methodical presentation of how their “dream” would be engineered they realized it wasn’t what they wanted.

The whole exercise was a fascinating study from how much we’re already controlled by this agenda to how much people don’t understand what it really takes...
