A plan to squeeze most residents of the San Francisco Bay Area into multifamily housing offers a test case of whether land-use bureaucracies nationwide, encouraged by the Obama administration, should be allowed to transform American lifestyles under the pretext of combating climate change.
Currently, 56 percent of households in the nine-county Bay Area live in single-family homes. That number would drop to 48 percent by 2030, under a high-density development blueprint called Plan Bay Area, recently enacted by the Association of Bay Area Governments and the regions Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Plan Bay Area has already drawn several legal challenges, and the debate could spread nationwide if, as may happen, it becomes a model for regulators in other parts of the country.

They’re going to have to pass legislation to force us into big cities before we can see what’s in it.
And as we are moved into community homes, we ave o be god neighbors. Lets all make sure we don’t make the community uncomfortable. You can keep your shotgun but let’s keep it safe here at the police lock-up. You don’t need any other sort of gun because the housing is so safe. Also, a lot of people don’t eat meat so the kitchens will all be meat free, they don’t like the smell of scorched fesh; a delicious tofu product will be provided instead.
Of course tobacco is forbidden because its not good for anyone and we’ve done a study and now know which channels to provide for your cable service.
Last, to be able to provide good housing for all, you will be introduced to the flat-mates you’ll be sharing your housing with. Welcome to your new home.
Take them seriously. They really want to do this. In the leftist ‘mind’ everybody must drive the same car, get the same salary, live in the same kind of place, and get the same marks on tests.
Except for the liberal ruling elite, which lives high off the hog on other peoples’ money.
How about an experiment in which we put “climate crusaders” in very dense living conditions, to see if they resort to cannibalism instead of starvation?
Nearly all of our neighbors would play loud, crappy “music” at 1am, 2:13 am. 5:12 am, etc. most nights. Idiots honking horns outside the window at 3:00 am.
The most frightening part of the movie “Priest” was that the govt made everyone live in apartments!
Why am I getting mental images of the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust?
> The courtyard night light is a nice touch.
Yes, even more so because it’s a portrait of Dear Leader.
They are not, for the most part, independent nor critical thinkers
Anyone with a micro knowledge of common core education standards will know that critical thinking is one of the goals of common core. If anyone is dumb enough to believe that is truly a goal I have bridge property for sale.
As to your last paragraph, on “peculiar aspects”, agenda 21 again.
>> its a portrait of Dear Leader.
Yes, I saw that.
Our OWN dear leader dreams of having his glowing face on every drab apartment building in Amerika.
“Smart growth”
Every American:
1. Lives in a tiny apartment.
2. Both parents take a bus to their union job.
3. Homeschooling is outlawed.
4. Has only one child by law.
5. Submits to forced home visits by federal social workers.
Climate crusaders want to phase out American dream (except for their own and the others of the “elite”).
Too extreme. Sentence them to live in old-Soviet style apartment blocks, the way they want others to be required to live. Fair is fair!
Because those proposing this course of action are getting the same mental images, though emphasizing the “end” rather than the “means”.
Everyone has read Animal Farm, right?
As I read the comments, it is amazing how the left wingers remind me of the pigs in Animal Farm.
If you haven’t read the book, I highly recomment it.
I listened to Pink Floyd's "Animals", is that close enough?
Only if you’re eating Animal Crackers while listening.
Government policy is that unborn babies SHOULD BE destroyed, and that they SHOULD NOT be conceived in the first place. The left does not just fanatically support abortion, it also fanatically supports contraception and faggotry. All of these things are an attempt to engineer population decline. Leftist death lovers are literally trying to destroy American civilization.
Never actually read it; sounds like I need to put it on my list.
