It was sort of like visiting another country without flying or a passport.

"Why Democrats Want to Get Rid of the Suburbs"

The destruction of the middle class--the bourgeoisie--one of their top priorities. That's communism101.

Karl Marx said that the bourgeoisie is the greatest impediment to the establishment of the worldwide communist "utopia."

Millions of people have fallen for his fundamentally evil designs.

Marx acknowledged that horrible, violent class warfare and the establishment of a police state would be necessary--even desirable, which speaks volumes about Marx the man!

And one of the glaring fallacies of his absurd design is that once this global police state had established worldwide communism, the need for government would MIRACULOUSLY vanish and everyone would live in harmony without government and without any need for government. In other words: "A miracle will take place."

Anybody who falls for that kind of snake oil is a fool, but there are obviously millions of fools in the world--and that's not the only flaw in his load of hogwash.

The part they can’t say out loud: all high density apartment buildings vote majority Democrat. Suburbs have swing voters. Planting one high density apartment building is an easy way to throw an area to a Democrat majority, 100% of the time. It’s low-hanging fruit for establishing permanent one-party rule.

When food prices double and gas goes to $10/gal, rural people who commute 60-80 miles a day round trip won't be able to afford to live rural and will have to move towards the cities. Multi-family dwellings will be needed. The extra money in those areas' economies will allow them to be like the cities with a camera on every corner, gunshot sound detectors. By that time we'll also have our digital IDs to spend our digital money.

Agenda 2030 is right around the corner. Rural land will go back to wild like they want it to.

If the globalists get their way.

“They want to flood the suburbs with criminals, gangs, rapists, and murderers.”

While simultaneously disarming us. The resulting crime and victimization will enable them to establish martial law and complete social control.

“Sensible gun safety” is their means of achieving despotism.

Property freedom, travel freedom, education freedom, crime freedom.

I've always thought of zoning as unconstitutional under the "takings clause".

In a free country you should be able to do whatever you want with your property.

I thought it was the meddling big government leftists that got zoning started.

“housing justice”

Another commie utopian tactic in their never ending race-to-the-bottom quest to turn us into a third world hellhole.

And prices will go up by the same order of magnitude.

BS. So if we went back to slavery ( free labor) then everything we use/need will be free? The cost of labor is about 5% of the cost of a durable goods we buy, if that.

The inner city hellholes vote overwhelmingly Democratic and are bastions of high crime, welfare and misery. So it stands to reason the Democrats want to replicate that out in the suburbs.

There are no "blue" states. There are only blue cities. Remove the blue cities and we have 50 red states.

Here in FL, I would say the strongest contrast will be between Broward and Palm Beach counties. Broward is perhaps 80% Democratic voters and was “built out” a couple of decades ago. Palm Beach is closer to 50/50 in voter registration and a bit more conservative in local governance than in the representatives sent to DC. West Palm Beach is enormous, and will have decades of new residential development ahead. Nearly everything being built is a gated community.

Broward will fall for the federal funds, Palm Beach County, I don’t think so. So, you will have contiguous counties to compare and contrast in a few decades, and I don’t think it will look so good for Broward.

I see you went to the AOC school of economics. You’re clueless about what causes inflation, but I’ll give you a hint. A definition of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.

CT has already done this with a state law that says any developer including a few deeded, and so long-term, “affordable” units can build without the local town being able to impose any of its zoning limits.

They are essentially forcing the towns on the ocean to become mini-NYCs. Truly horrific and un-American.

“Housing justice” lends new meaning to the phrase “If you build it, they will come”. They WILL come.....and they will TAKE it.

If you own land and local zoning isn't to your liking, it's annoying. But it's local, so it's not unconstitutional--USC is silent on the subject. And that makes sense, since, if you don't like the zoning in one place, you can sell and move to somewhere it's different.

Where I grew up, it was the developers bribing town officials to down-zone to quarter-acre lots so they could bring in the urban people that drove us crazy, and eventually drove us elsewhere.
