Our best hope at this point is to elect fighters and those who understand liberty like Christine O’Donnell, Allen West, Joe Miller and Sharron Angle.
A few years ago i read a book review by a surprised academic which had to conclude that people were happier in the suburbs than in cities.
Just imagine no garden without joining the gardening group and growing whatever they vote to grow.
No smoking.
Read in UK housing — can’t put a doormat in front of your door — or potted plants — they are hazards.
Can’t have an argument with your mate without everyone knowing.
in Calif they banned barbeque pits/outdoor grills in apartments.
I’m sure someone in to inspect something all the time for safety, for the children, for your own good.
Didn’t Jefferson say something about how Americans might change if they were all herded into cities?
Urban gangs everywhere rejoice.
November can’t come soon enough. Vote all the Dems and Rino’s out.
This coming election we must be setting the groundwork for the return of the Constitution.
This isn’t satire?
Actually this is more ominous considering that home ownership has now been taken over by the government. What is that percentage again of homes owned by Fred & Fran?
I can’t tell you how pleased i am that some heat is being put on Agenda 21. This is one deep rabbit hole, and a wet dream for investigators. The new media will have a field day once they sink their teeth into it. Obamas new $50 billion porkulus plan isn’t going to do anything with roads or runways. It WILL be all about the high-speed rail though, won’t it Willie? Agenda 21 dictates that roads and air travel are “unsustainable”, isn’t that right Willie?
Mississippi community weighs in, scroll down article to read their public comments.
Here is an observation. When I use to work for a major DoD contracting company, all of the jobs were being moved from paces like here in Colorado and I am sure in California to the Washington DC area. I gotten pressure to move the the DC area for the same pay. New contracts that were awarded, the work was going to be done in the DC area.
Another interesting observation, the DC area, the local and state governments are very controlling. Virginia with their crowded roads, ban on radar detectors and reckless driving tickets for the most minor infractions. Also a strict vehicle safety and emissions inspection laws. Live in any kind of neighborhood, you are under the watchful eye of neighbors and HOA’s. Some places ban trucks or motorcycles.
I have no desire to live in a crowded place and have to participate in a high stress rat race. This legislation is pushing life in that direction. A part of the standard of living is quality of life. The democrats when they go on their witch hunts and talk about “evil this, evil that”, they are attacking our good quality of life and good standards. Always tear down what is good !
I worked for MCI at one time as well, a former Wash DC company. Both companies especially on the East Coast have this mentality of “live to work”, don’t take vacation except a few days at a time, work weekends, participate in company type of community projects outside of work. Little leisure time to enjoy life.
Again, this bill goes in this direction of reducing the quality of life.
I believe this started with Clinton. It is a nightmare of central control that builds on the federalization of the zoning powers in each state.
It is central planing of where and how anyone can build or live.
Nasty stuff.
I started looking into it several years ago.
"I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice."
Thomas Jefferson
Libertarian ping
Does that mean I will have to sell my fifteen acres in TN and abandon dreams of an isolated environment?
In the Christian Bible, man is told to "spread out" and multiply. So, moving into a city is against my religion.
Luckily this has no chance of passing anytime soon.
LBE (lead by example) Chris! When all you DC politicians and lobbyists move into Blade Runner-eque urban cubicles, let me know.
