The Obama administration envisions a “low-carbon, low-petroleum” future where Americans tele-work, tele-shop, walk, bike and use carpools or mass transit if they must leave the neighborhood at all.

A study released Friday says the U.S. has the potential to reduce petroleum use and pollution in the transportation sector by more than 80 percent by 2050. In other words, gasoline-powered cars may go the way of the dinosaur, and many Americans may end up living in planned, mixed-use, “walkable” neighborhoods, built along mass transit lines. …

Higher densities (more people living in the same area in smaller homes), a mix of uses (shopping and other services) and walkable neighborhoods contribute to lower vehicle travel and energy use, the report says.

And to encourage “effective land use,” the report calls for expanded federal efforts to influence development through funding decisions. …

Sounds very ghetto-ized. Shut all the people in so you can control them. All except the criminals, to terrorize the masses . . .

Got to get those peasants into high-rise containment facilities so the ruling class can live in the Walden paradise it deserves.

My “neighborhood” doesn’t include being in the city. Looks like they’re gonna have to kill me outright.

Looks like they’re gonna have to kill me outright.

They have no problem with that.

Just take one with you when you go.

Yeah; we’re now being “Tele-Screwed”

[traditional1]

Next: High-speed rail service construction (with Union Labor, of course), from the ghetto to Suburbia, to “shop” and “do your banking”.

By implication, it also means: (1) the decline of conventional schooling as the Internet increasingly delivers education to children at home; and (2) parents, especially women, being more at home and closely supervising their children. These two trends would make for a strengthening of the family and of conservative cultural influences.

The typical feudal serf of the 14th century belonged to the land, and during an entire lifetime would not venture more than a few miles radius. Guess, we'll be getting back to our roots...

Sounds good to me. Just as soon as all our Representatives, and Senators are required to do the same tele-work, from my own neighborhood where I can visit them in person. We won’t need to have big rallies in far away parts of the country. We can tar and feather them at our leisure, locally.

I love working at home- I write software for a living, I can do that anyplace I have an internet connection.

Once I am 100% established full-time at home I am moving to thailand where you can live like a King for $20,000 a year.

I can make that in one month

“Tax policy that may influence land development;”

In other words, selectively tax people off of their land.

I don’t like urban sprawl but I hate being controlled.

Looks like the French still haven't figured out retail. This arises out of the national habit of driving successful retailers out of the country ~ first the Jews, then the Huguenots, then the Jews again.

The Obama administration envisions a “low-carbon, low-petroleum” future,
where Americans tele-work, tele-shop, walk, bike and use carpools or mass transit,
if they must leave the neighborhood at all.

Yet we all know the only thing the Ø'zero administration can bring is 'change' along the lines of Detroit or Chicago...

Did they tell you about the floods?
