Obama’s Continuing War on Suburbia, Courtesy of Joe Biden
American Thinker ^ | 8 Apr, 2024 | Eileen F. Toplansky

Like the prophets of old, Stanley Kurtz warned of the evil mongers in America, but sadly, no one seemed to heed his dire warning.

In his 2012 book titled Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities, Kurtz painstakingly detailed Obama’s and, now by extension, Biden’s nefarious plans to destroy the suburbs.

The ever-stealthy Obama has been assiduously working on the goal of abolishing America’s suburbs ever since his days as a community activist.

Although state laws may discourage involuntary annexation of suburbs, there are three key changes that will end the dream of a white picket fence and single family home ownership. They include:

- Creating a no-growth boundary around each metropolitan area. This will force ‘large numbers of Americans to abandon their cars and their dreams of freestanding houses [.]’

- Forced economic integration which translates into the government trying to systematically manage where people live by income level [.]

- ‘Regulations will force builders to include a quota of low-income housing units and the free market in housing will gradually be replaced by government-planned living patterns.’

Metropolitan regions will initiate a regime of tax sharing to reduce ‘fiscal disparities’ – shorthand for ‘suburban tax money to be transferred to cities and lower-income inner-ring suburbs.’ Coercion, not choice will mandate how this will be accomplished. Already Americans are being told that they must stop driving their gas-fueled cars. Under the guise of helping the environment, the government accrues more power for itself.

Think socialism, social democracy, extreme liberalism, Marxism, communism. Class warfare will be pursued as the traditional American dream of striving for a better future with the freedom to move where you please is demolished.

In 2015, Kurtz explained how then “HUD Secretary Julian Castro Announced the Finalization of the Obama...

15 minute city = The Village in The Prisoner.

You don't need a map of the outside world because you're not allowed to leave.

that’s why they want to force the car market into all-EV so the average person can not afford to drive, and they can shut the power off any time they want - if you can even afford the electricity to charge it. Only the elites will get to drive between 15 minute cities. These people are evil AF.

Someone has entered this God’s land.. Country.. And intentionally upset the apple cart. I sense a cloud hanging ove the land.. A foreboding.. a heaviness. And it’s not welcome.

Not this excrement again.

The POTATUS is a stooge.

Barry is a stooge.

The people hiding behind them are the true threat, not their useful idiots.

Another way they’re destroying the suburbs and the middle class is through ridiculous property tax hikes. Every year property taxes increase well above the inflation rate. Up another 20% this year here.

Two and three are already in effect done in many states—with ever more extreme laws being passed.

You can’t get far enough away from an American city.

And one of President Trumps first official acts should be to turn Marthas Vijneyard into an Illegal Alien holding center, the ENTIRE ISLAND. We could put at a least a Million there to run free on the island while they wait for their court hearing

Thirty five years ago I bought 15 acres way out in the country. Now the city has built new suburbs around me. It is like two arms reaching out to grab us, determined to citify this area. And this is not the only area.

A proposed 500% increase in Parks & Recreation is on ballot here next month. Would increase our taxes by $2000...just for Parks & Rec!

Really is stomach-churning, isn't it?

At the rate property taxes are increasing, people who got their mortgages paid off won't be able to stay in their homes due to incredibly high property taxes.

Property taxes in my neck of the woods are to be used for the schools. So, just who is paying for the MILLIONS of illegal alien students who’s parents do not own property?

This is not America.

You and me, as well as the free meals for breakfast lunch and dinner.
