“And remember in 2014 BHO, via his EO on automobile CAFE standards will be requiring all new automobiles, to have GPS tracking devices.”

We can’t have citizens wandering about Pursuing Happiness as they see fit, can we ? We must move Forward, comrade! /s.

Hey, what’s that noise ? No, that’s not a drone, that sounds like George Orwell screaming “I told you so!”

:)

They did this is Albany back in the eighties...revitalizing the area just north of the Palace Theater up to Lark St. I was lucky enough to have one of the refurbished apartments and it was a cool place to live at the time, but thirty years later it has gone right back to the hood. You can clear a spot in the jungle, but when you leave, the jungle returns.

If HUD would stick to the blighted neighborhoods I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it (beyond the waste of money). But, as you say, the only way to get a mixture of incomes would be to sweep middle-class neighborhoods into the plan, mixing in Section Eight housing liberally. We’ll end up with a much larger slum than before, only good people will have their homes’ values destroyed in the process. There would be no choice but to flee the place, and take pennies on the dollar for you home.

Yup, it’s been going on for decades, that’s how I’m so sure. Liberals claim it’s the Races, but it’s the crime that’s the driver.

Or an internment camp of sorts for those liberals find undesirable.

But what the heck ? It’s all about moving Forward.... /s.

Realators and developers love real estate churn.

So does the County Tax Assessor.

It won’t matter what they do and how much they spend,the animals they import wil just turn it into a jungle again. It may be an expensive jungle, but it will still be a junfle. Very dangerous for the fainthearted.

Exactly right.

That’s nothing, my mayor is spending $5 billion here in Los Angeles

The city will partner with the private sector to spend $5 billion in affordable housing.

This is part of that redistribution of wealth Obama was talking about and the Agenda 21 the United Nations is pushing.

Here are a few paragraphs:

A central challenge in the Los Angeles affordable housing market entails bridging the gap between the housing we produce and the housing we need. Housing That Works tackles this challenge by directing public resources toward the production and preservation of 20,000 homes across the income spectrum.

Adding Housing for Families at Every Income Level

The Mayor’s plan focuses on the disparity between what is built and what our community needs, and set specific goals for housing across the income spectrum.

Creating Sustainable Transit Communities

The Mayor’s plan focuses new development in the areas where it makes the most sense – along public transit corridors and close to job centers. Under his leadership, this plan creates 20 transit district plans in 5 years, launches a sustainable community initiative, protects the environment, connects homes and places of work, and improves the quality of life for every Angeleno.

Promoting Mixed Income Housing

Under the Mayor’s leadership the City will adopt a mixed-income housing ordinance, ensuring that every community and every new development includes housing for families of all income levels and expands the housing options for LA’s workforce.

So do you get that kids? Villaraigosa is going to force his Social Engineering, his Integrated communities on us by building massive apartment buildings along the transit lines. That is what he means when he says Mixed Income Housing. Our government is going to select the winners in this world.

The city already owns 30,000 units and he wants to add another 20,000 units. He explains this a little better on PDF page 16.

And Then

http://mayor.lacity.org/stellent/groups/electedofficials/@myr_ch_contributor/documents/contributor_web_content/lacityp_022367.pdf

You will be taken to 110 pages of Villaragosa’s white paper titled
Developing and Implementing the City of Los Angeles’ Transit Corridors Strategy
Coordinated Action toward a Transit-Oriented Metropolis

Because you have the nerve to work for a living. That’s the only reason why.

Y’know it’s funny. Libs always like to run around screaming how they’re on the side of the working man and yet, everything they do is to the detriment of the working man.

Being optimistic is a good and desired thing. Back in the sixties and since there have been building good housing for the poor and homeless. What happens in every case is ... the people inhabiting these new building know next to nothing about maintaining a property through normal living. Do not knock holes in the walls, break the windows, cleanliness, ... pride of having a nice place to live and hopefully good folks next door. etc, you get the idea. Instead it works out they pay nothing or very very little. Doubtful if they pay an electric bill. So there is no sense of ownership that comes when one provides for their self. Soon some breaks in and steals possessions, the police are slow or actually afraid to come to certain areas.

It seems simple. Give them a nice home and they will work to maintain it. NOT TRUE USUALLY. Here we have a program for handicapped Habitat for Humanity is such a program ... one of the client of the vet was given one of these homes, and the vet had occasion to take the young man home and the vet said it was almost new and it was a total mess already So it is not out of the ordinary for a person that has not been taught to care for things to continue to do what they have always done. they might give them an educational course in necessary upkeep and how to keep their home nice.

It's time like these that I'm glad I live out in the country where the locals think HUD is a disease you hope your cows don't catch.

Left unabated, these maniacs are marching towards the environment that exists in Robert Silverberg's 1971 book, The World Inside. Take a gander. Agenda 21 to the extreme, on steroids.

The program I’ve described in the above column has nothing, and I do mean nothing, to with compassion.

This is all about socialism and the redistribution of wealth.

“Compassion” and “politics” never belong in the same sentence.

Now, do I believe we should be compassionate and help charities voluntarily ? Absolutely and without question.

Now that looks like a good read.

I’ve always wanted to live out in the country and own a farm, like my ancestors from Italy and South Africa did. Perhaps, one day I will.
