No. That scumbag Krugman would be on the other side of town in the chateaus, nose in the air with the rest of the elite political class.
Their planning is strictly for the proletariat, not for themselves.
True, I’m sure he thinks he’d have his own “dacha.”
I thought the aim of government planners was to separate residential and commercial areas.
Mission accomplished, right?
And now from the central planners comes “but we didn’t mean THAT!”
Every single thing this guy says is stupid. I think even other lefties know that.
Atlanta has affluent Black suburbs that are so desirable that Whites move in and don’t mind being the minority. MLK was right about character.
He is ALWAYS wrong
Raising Hell in Subsidized Housing
It might be a tipping point phenomenon... when blacks are more than 30% of the population, white producers leave ...
Nope. Just covert support for Agenda 21. Populations need to be locked up in urban areas and arcologies. Even if they don’t want to be...
In this novel, there is one world government. People are encouraged to breed like rabbits. Everyone lives their entire lives inside one of these towers. No one is allowed to go outside, in fact, people are agoraphobic. Anyone who is deemed to be a danger is summarily taken out of society by way of a chute at the end of each hallway.
There are people who do live on the farms that are necessary to support the population, but they are few, since it’s mostly automated. They are seen as ‘weird’.
The plot centers around a man who wants to go out side......
I think some of those poor underclass should be given directions to his mansions and told that they are welcome to move in with him to spread the wealth around. It looks like he could accomodate at least a dozen poor families. After all, he didn’t build that wealth himself, he built it on the backs of the poor.
Along with that, build as much section 8 housing as is possible on or around his land. It’s only the right thing to do. There are more than enough current and future Trayvons to go around, he should take in his share.
I just discussed this article with my 16yo daughter. I explained that this was the second recent article I’d seen on relocating earners from the suburbs back to urban areas. Her response? “But why???” Because the social engineers think that the poor won’t be poor if they make the wager earners live closer to them. Her response? “That doesn’t make sense.” I explained that’s how the liberal mind works to which she replied ‘so they’re stupid?’
Out of the mouths of babes...
:: the American dream seems to be dying ::
Uhhh...Paul, that would be YOUR interpretation of the American Dream which, apparently, is “social mobility”.
Everyone else believes the American dream is self-determination.
I’m guessing wealthy blacks don’t cotton to gang bangers either. Our next door neighbors moved to the country to get their kids away from that influence.
Smart Growth = Leaving your tiny, dirty, and violent government-owned apartment to take the bus to your union job at the factory.
Right - blacks can't get to a job 10 blocks away, but Mexicans can get from Mexico to Michigan to pick fruit for peanuts? Hey Krugman - explain that one away...
Krugman's garbage is half 'push the stupid new liberal idea' about sprawl and half 'it's not the blacks fault they can't get to a job". Both ideas are bogus.
“Sprawl may be killing Horatio Alger.”
