CA: A smart bill for smart growth ... on verge of passage in Legislature

[Farmer Dean]

Useless bureaucrats keep pushing their social engineering agenda.Pretty soon the citizens will push back and it's not gonna be pretty.

[Bernard Marx]

We Americans are allowing ourselves to be legislated into bondage. The role of carbon emissions in so-called AGW is not even close to being scientifically proven. But liberal politicians have carefully created the public perception that carbon is deadly, and they're working 24/7 on restrictive legislation before the science is truly understood. In politics perceptions, not facts, rule.

Anyone who understands the catastrophic effects the Endangered Species Act has had on private property rights should work desperately to stop the new carbon restrictions before it's too late. This will make the ESA look like child's play.

"At the same time, it will encourage housing to be built closer to where people work and shop"

Hmmm... wait til the NIMBY group get an earful of the latest land grab from the socialists. This has been coming to a head since the beginnings of land planning.

In America, the government has no business telling people where to live or work. That is for socialist countries.

I’ve just about had it with California.

If Arnold were to sign this bill he would be the biggest hypocrite since the word was invented.

He commutes several hundred miles each day (by private jet) from his humongous suburban home in LA to his office in Sacramento.

Here is an article in reference to the freepmail you sent me.

California is drowning in a tidal wave of immigration, at the current rate they’ll be living shoulder to shoulder even if all they have for shelter is tents.

Central planning. If you want to live in a single family home with the white picket fence and front lawn and backyard, bureaucrats will eliminate that choice for you! The suburb and is that the exurb? - just has too big a "carbon footprint!" We know what they mean by "smart growth."

I would imagine that this would put incredible pressure on those little remain pockets of undeveloped open space left in the cities.

I don’t think people are gonna like living literally on top of one another in tiny condos without yards or open land around them.

[longtermmemmory]

carbon emission tax = movement control
carbon emession tax = breathing tax

This is not about polution this is about clustering voters to be DEPENDENT ON CITIES.

This is SICK and PERVERTED.

Would someone just saw Californicate off the map and let it float out to sea?
