My “neighborhood” doesn’t include being in the city. Looks like they’re gonna have to kill me outright.
Yeah; we’re now being “Tele-Screwed”
Not happening in Galt Gulch.
Stack and pack housing.
agenda 21 at work. this is the goal.
By implication, it also means: (1) the decline of conventional schooling as the Internet increasingly delivers education to children at home; and (2) parents, especially women, being more at home and closely supervising their children. These two trends would make for a strengthening of the family and of conservative cultural influences.
tele-presence...
making it easier to offshore the job
Sounds good to me. Just as soon as all our Representatives, and Senators are required to do the same tele-work, from my own neighborhood where I can visit them in person. We won’t need to have big rallies in far away parts of the country. We can tar and feather them at our leisure, locally.
I love working at home- I write software for a living, I can do that anyplace I have an internet connection.
Once I am 100% established full-time at home I am moving to thailand where you can live like a King for $20,000 a year.
I can make that in one month
“Tax policy that may influence land development;”
In other words, selectively tax people off of their land.
I don’t like urban sprawl but I hate being controlled.
Private cars have long been a target of the socialist left because they allow unregulated mobility.
While banning cars outright is politically impossible, the plan of making them undesirable and unaffordable is right on track. Combine “safety” and “emission” goals with ever increasing fuel, licensing, and insurance costs and you have the path to extinction.
20 yrs from now, private cars will be pretty much affordable only by the top 5% or so. The only upside is there will be a major improvement in congestion.
When King BOZerO gets driven only with electric cars or natural gas planes then he’s believable. Otherwise file him under H -—hypocrite.
Someone’s been playing SimCity too much. The problem with “walkable utopia” is that it requires bulldozing most of the towns in the America and convincing bosses that we can work from home. Oh, that and the whole “we like FREEDOM” thing. Aging Leftist Hippies should stick to pot and macrame and leave the adult things to people who do useful stuff.
Who’s going to grow the tele-food they tele-eat and haul off their tele-garbage?
The fallacy in this crappy plan is that the cities already take top prize for energy inefficiency and are getting worse all the time. The taxes paid by city dwellers are far higher than those in the country and energy costs are at the root of all costs. The difference is energy-sucking buildings full of energy sucking bureaucrats who impede economic progress and cause energy waste in many cases (although I suppose delaying the permitting of some activity might save energy temporarily).
They built Soviet styled, concentrated housing projects in the cities in the 60’s and 70’s. It was an absolute death trap of poverty and misery.
