Burn Down the Suburbs?
National Review Online ^ | Aug 1, 2012 | Stanley Kurtz

Posted on 12/08/2016 7:17:21 PM PST by Ray76

Obama is not a fan of America’s suburbs. Indeed, he intends to abolish them. Obama is a longtime supporter of “regionalism,” the idea that the suburbs should be folded into the cities, merging schools, housing, transportation, and above all taxation.

One of Obama’s original trainers, Mike Kruglik, has hived off a new organization called Building One America

In July of 2011, Kruglik’s Building One America held a conference at the White House.

The ultimate goal [] is quite literally to abolish the suburbs.

One approach is to force suburban residents into densely packed cities by blocking development on the outskirts of metropolitan areas, and by discouraging driving with a blizzard of taxes, fees, and regulations. Step two is to move the poor out of cities by imposing low-income-housing quotas on development in middle-class suburbs. Step three is to export the controversial “regional tax-base sharing” scheme currently in place in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area to the rest of the country.

The centerpiece of the Obama administration’s anti-suburban plans is a little-known and seemingly modest program called the Sustainable Communities Initiative. The “regional planning grants” funded under this initiative — many of them in battleground states like Florida, Virginia, and Ohio — are set to recommend redistributive policies, as well as transportation and development plans, designed to undercut America’s suburbs.

Well good. Then we should tear down all the cities as they are an eyesore, dangerous, and just a mess. Good riddance to every major city in America.

We fought a couple wars over people who wouldn’t peacefully let others leave.

The wars went 1-1, but if they want to go another, I dont mind putting a second one in the win column.

Along with securing the border and the Supreme Court, another important reason I voted Trump and begged family and friends to do likewise.

That was from 2012, and he’s on the way out, and his “dream” didn’t come true, and all of the damages he caused the country, will, hopefully soon, be corrected.

So, can we hurry up and kick the awhole out the door before his term is fully over? We need to start to “Make America Great Again”.

Dr Ben Carson has labors before him that would make Hercules look like a slacker.

I absolutely hate everything about the gay treasonous traitor Muslim half breed Mulatto monkey Manchuriian Candidate in the WH who was only put there by sniveling scheming conniving Satanic Communist Party members who trained, indoctrinated, and financed his education from birth when he first arrived at his first Rosemary’s Baby birthday party through Harvard.

Already been done. Remember LBJ’s URBAN RENEWAL from the 1960s.
Time for it again in other parts.

We should never forget Obama’s dream of destruction as there are other heretics out there, just like him, with similar dreams and there are certainly other corruptible citizens out there who will follow such a radical. Yes Obama is a radical and the Democrat party is radical and in some cases extremist as well those that are as swilling in their own supremacy, as they are the elite they know best, the world needs to completely accept, no make that embrace and celebrate their ideology whether or not it is good for the individual, society or the nation. (Please excuse any typos etc. I’m tired.)
