Social Engineering Bill In Senate Will Force You Into City
Personal Liberty Digest ^ | September 10, 2010 | Bob Livingston

Posted on 09/12/2010 2:34:36 PM PDT by Natural Born 54

A social engineering bill to restrict residence in the suburbs and rural areas and force Americans into city centers has passed the United States Senate Banking Committee and is on the fast track to passage in the Senate.

The bill is called the Livable Communities Act (SB 1619) and it was introduced by corruptocrat outgoing Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.). It seeks to fulfill the United Nation’s plan Agenda 21, adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and signed onto by “New World Order” President George H.W. Bush.

This bill is designed to destroy your community. According to the non-profit American Policy Center the bill:

I won't say this is nothing to worry about. BUT. Crap like this Bill is introduced all the time. 'Urban Planners' have been pushing this 'urban utopia' junk since the 1970's when I first got into Commercial Construction and Hi Rise Bldgs.

this 'stuff' is an Architect's wet dream. to us it's a nightmare

Hmmmm..couple this bill with the recent reports of billionaires like George Soros and others buying up millions of acres of farmland across the globe as the new ‘in’ investment and the implications are chilling.

Heaven help us!

” You can already see the effects of this stupidity in California.
High density developments are erected in existing cities while “green space” areas are set aside, conveniently occupied only by employees of the Trusts that “own” them (they never buy them, the land is basically stolen by manipulation of zoning laws or extortion against the existing owners). “

California has been on the “leading edge” of self destruction for the past 20 years. I left in 06 ;-)

“I don’t think people in this area will take to the idea of Government telling you where to live.”

It will not be as overt as the Soviet Union. Instead, living outside of the city will become ever more expensive via taxes and fees targeting such a choice.

For example, a restored farmhouse will be very expensive to sell if it requires $100K of work in order to meet Federal code.

That's my fear. I believe one of the things being kicked around with the cap and trade bill were mandatory energy evaluations, to be compared to some "federal standard". Another possibility was a requirement to meet these "standards" before you could sell. Like you said, it could force those of us who live in old farmhouses to either stay put, or lose a ton of money to sell.

Sigh. First the government encourages sprawl with all kinds of hidden subsidies, and then it tries to undo it by passing coercive regulation trying to limit sprawl.

Of course, it never dawned on these idiots that the most efficient thing to do is simply remove the hidden subsidies.

It reminds me of financial reform. First the government creates tax incentives that encourage leverage, only to pass coercive regulation trying to limit leverage.

They never learn.

So the "environmentalist" model for livable commoonities is...Manhattan. A tiny sliver of land, hyper populated, people living in rabbit warrens, and outside....blissful wildernesses occupied only by the Chosen Few.

Two points

1) Living in Manhattan is actually great, if you can afford it. Contrary to your assertion, a large fraction of the elite in New York live in Manhattan, just for this reason. There's a reason why its real estate is as expensive as it is.

2) If not for the huge hidden subsidies we give suburbanites (i.e. free highways, commuter rail, subsidized phone, postal and broadband service to people in less populated areas, etc), more of the country would look like Manhattan.

3) The correct policy is to remove the subsidies and force the people who choose to live in the sticks pay the full cost of their lifestyle choice. Instead, our masters want to maintain the subsidies but then try to coerce people to live how they want them to. Go figure.

No...you’re not naive...you just haven’t had it handed to you on a platter yet. The sustainable growth land use laws in Oregon were implemented in, IIRC, 1972. So...if you can stop it in your state now, you are way ahead of the game.

When we were looking for a little property we had to go the county/state land use people first. We were told that even though folks pay a lot of money for their land, it’s not theirs...they just “lease” it. Too, even if one had 40 acres, it was against the law to put up more than one home...even if it was a mother-in-law home for her old age.

Do a search for Agenda 21. It’s the UN’s desire for the entire world...and in much of the world it’s in effect.

Believe me...they aren’t jealous people. These are folks in our own country...who profess to love this country...who are doing this to us.

High rise cardboard shacks, huh? Lol. We already have them along the border. Barrios - the streets run with sewage!

Sorry I’m so slow replying Seadog. Nice to see you posting!
