But social engineering is at the heart of the Livable Communities Act, where federal planners hope to reduce personal mobility as measured in vehicle miles traveled and shift housing patterns from single-family homes in the suburbs to small apartments in cramped central cities.
In a country as large and diverse as ours, some people will prefer the live-work-travel arrangements prescribed for in the Livable Communities Act, which is based on the Smart Growth planning doctrine. However, the vast majority of Americans in red and blue states alike have long aspired to live in suburban homes with a car in the garage.
This quintessentially middle-class version of the American Dream has long been derided by elites and environmentalists, who recast suburbs as a wasteful sprawl and liken automobile use to a destructive addiction. They want to delegitimize this land use pattern, restrict automobile use, and make suburban housing less affordable. The Livable Communities Act is thus a hammer in the progressive toolbox.
Absent from their advocacy is any acknowledgment that cars and suburbia are not just expressions of freedom, but indispensable contributors to our prosperity.

I believe the originator of Agenda 21 was Maurice Strong who spoke of “sustainable” populations.
We’ll be much easier to control when cramped together in ghettos.
Its why we “need” to tax drivers off the roads to pay for trains.
yup one world order
If so, then this rat just violated his oath.

Dodd is a criminal slime who is guilty of treason. Dodd should be arrested, tried and executed ASAP. If I where President some things would be very different.Chris Dodd is a chip off the old block: His daddy used the Nazi gun control laws as a model for GCA 1968.
