A plan to squeeze most residents of the San Francisco Bay Area into multifamily housing offers a test case of whether land-use bureaucracies nationwide, encouraged by the Obama administration, should be allowed to transform American lifestyles under the pretext of combating climate change.
Currently, 56 percent of households in the nine-county Bay Area live in single-family homes. That number would drop to 48 percent by 2030, under a high-density development blueprint called Plan Bay Area, recently enacted by the Association of Bay Area Governments and the region’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Plan Bay Area has already drawn several legal challenges, and the debate could spread nationwide if, as may happen, it becomes a model for regulators in other parts of the country.

This problem is easy to resolve. Round up the people who are promoting the idea and have them shot. (After a fair trial, of course!)
There just does not seem to be any end to the total, complete BS, that the idiots of the world can conjure up. I wonder if these dirtbags want to exempt themselves from their own BS?
This has Agenda 21 written all over it. A UN plan if you can call collectivism a plan. Corral and control the populace.
In America this is going nowhere, in Amerika?
This is an idea that governmental agencies in the Bay Area have been planning, pushing, advocating, and moving forward for nearly 30 years. I remember some years ago, they wanted to get rid of parking spaces at businesses, so as to force people to use public transportation. They figured if there was not parking at your work, then you would have to take the bus, ride a bike, yatta, yatta.
That evolved to only getting rid of some of the parking placed but making businesses pay for those spaces. Every scheme you can think of, they have it covered.
Ideally, here is what they want. They want folks to live upstairs of where they work. Yup, that’s right. You just slip on the old green worksuit and little red star, head down the stairs and begin slicing bologna or whatever your job is deemed to be by the state. isn’t it glorious!
I submit it wouldn’t take more than one or two oath breakers...
Remaining comments self censored.
isn’t it glorious!
Truly! /s
The experiment first involves residents of the Gay area in San Fran so let them suffer.
No trial needed
Who knew all those old Soviet apartment buildings were saving the planet.
If only we could be more like North Korea.
It is easier for DHS or the Ready Reserve Corps to surround and isolate a high-rise apartment building to contain hundreds for interrogation than accomplish the same thing in a large acreage sub-division.
This is not a city remedy nor even a national remedy but an international remedy in keeping with the aspirations of leftists everywhere. In other words this is not an isolated event but part of a universal dream of the left. Note the bribery from Washington.
Of course, all of this is predicated on a lie, global warming, and made arguably necessary by a man-made policy, unrestricted immigration. All of this is unnecessary and will be increasingly unnecessary in the digital age when commuting becomes something your parents or grandparents did.
The wet dream of every Free Trade Communist Globalist....seize your property...seize your home.
We must have hukous as in China and only those in the megacities will be permitted to, “prosper”.
