The BIG SHAM just burns on, and voter ignorance and complacency fuels the fire....

How do you unelect the unelected,, no , make that , how do you get the selected or appointed out when both gub and the legislature are hell-bent on screwing this state up even more?

If those who supported environmental legislation in the 50s and 60s had known what agencies would be spawn and let loose to be more a thorn than a boon to much of anyone, I wonder how many might have thought twice about the path they were told to go down?

Yep, climate initiatives are the next step towards full communism. UN believable.

Fighting Global Warming is like fighting vampires, or werewolves, or other imaginary creatures.

New Jersey already signed ‘smart growth’ into policy January 2007. The remap of zoning is considered ‘state policy’.

Same old eco-commie authoritarian crap—”we’re gonna tell you where and how to live”. Screw that.

The real motive behind the measure to stop the flight of people to the suburbs and exurbs. It has nothing to do with climate change. What it is about is to corral people in the cities where the Left can more easily control them. That's what its all about.

“How do you implement something when there are no rules?” said Harmer

What a useless human being! This is exactly the type of personality and intellect that gravitates towards "public service".

If his ancestors were as useless and incapable as he, the human species would have stopped evolving shortly after standing upright.

The enviromarxist central planners will do to California what the old-fashioned marxists did to the soviet union. It’s back to the USSR!

Thanks!

It’s almost pitchforks and torches time.. or shovels and buckets time.

What a mindless horde is running things these days. They sell themselves as having a vision.. I think they ate some bad acid myself.

YOUR FREEDOM BE DAMNED.

We government bureaucrats know what's best for your and your miserable little lives.

This would spell the end of the single-family subdivision and force everybody into 25 story high-rises.

The #1 avoidable cause of CO2 emissions is FIRES. The firefighters have to spend their time and money, not on the best way to prevent CO2 emissions/stop the fire, but on the lives and houses of stupid people who built where they shouldn’t.

Solutions:
1. Announce to homeowners, insurance companies, etc that firefighters will no longer waste their time and money on the houses of the stupid. And write that into law and funding.
2. The same with stupid people who build on mudslide heaven.
3. Clear cut firebreaks to contain CO2 emissions. Of course, rotate the clear cut area from year to year. Recycle the cuttings as paper, particle board, whatever.
4. Pump sea water up over the hills to basins in the desert. The water lines up over the hills can then be used for fire fighting also.
5. Half The new water in the desert basins will evaporate into the atmosphere and increase the humidity and rainfall which will reduce the fire hazard and increase the value of the land for vegatation, both natural and agriculturak.

I believe the suburbs were originally created to remove families from industrial neighborhoods. It was a health and safety thing. Now they want to force them back together into cities - into environments where human impact is much greater (air, water, land use.) You can tell we are growing less and less family friendly and treating people more like populations that have to be managed.

The is going to really screw over the real estate market in California. The regulations will cause the cost of new construction to skyrocket AND be delayed. The dunce factor in political and bureaucratic circles is on display from California.

I’m finding out what it means in bits and pieces. Some of the pieces has to do with changing where and how we live in NJ. Towns and areas are being awarded grants for Smart Growth areas, transit villages, and commuting restrictions. The Clean Air Act that Corine signed onto has mandatory car ownership restrictions.
