I guess they want to put everyone in one of those new 200 square foot coffin homes?

I suspect drone fire bombing will be on the rise in the near future
when people get fed up with this Anti-Americanism. It's a natural
evolution of technology.

[rigelkentaurus]

you have to love our overlords! Warehouse all of us serfs in our tiny prison cells, take away what few remaining rights we have, allow us to walk to work, if we have any, and then kill us off at a certain age so we are not a burden on the state’s “health care” finances. What a glorious future they have centrally planned for us!

Too bad I won’t be participating.

[LaRueLaDue]

Can we force a city/county/state to secede? These idgits need to live in their own little country, where they can wreak whatever damage their subjects can put up with.

"the city needs to move away from the idea that all families can live in their own home on a piece of land"

Gee, Dad. What does this mean?

Well, Beaver, the communists have always opposed private property ownership and strong, happy, normal families. And the communists on the city council has decided that we wont be allowed to own our own home anymore as we have for many years. So they'll round us up and put us in an apartment for our own good.

So we will be better off since its for our own good?

No, son. Just because they say its for our own good doesnt mean we will be better off.

Then why are they doing it then?

To hold power over us. You see son, inside every human being is a potential little dictator wanting for everyone to do things his way. Some of these people get elected to office and then they think this is their opportunity to make everyone bend to his will, even if he has to abuse his power and make people do what he wants by force.

Well, after they make us live in an apartment building, then they will be happy and leave us alone.

I'm afraid not, son. You see, once they have gotten their way on that, they get drunk with power and decide to dictate to us on many other things as well.

Then whats next dad?

Oh, load us up in boxcars and ship us off to concentration camps.

And then what?

They exterminate us.

devastating to the city's appeal

What appeal? It rains 9 months out of the year and is populated by fags and goth gangsters (according to that tv series, The Killing). Seriously, it doesn't sound like an appealing place. Especially with the obvious dominance of liberalism.

When the stupid people are put in charge, don't expect their authority to be sprinkled with wisdom.

Rather, they are like Middle-School kids, high on pot, given the authority to implement their drug addled notions.

[DemforBush]

And while we’re at it, we could add collective farming to that collective housing, comrades. Plenty of potatoes to be dug up in your former free time (free time having its roots in racism and classism, naturally).

These people are unhinged.

[tips up]

They can build some of those Soviet style cement apartment blocks.

[Buckeye McFrog]

19-3? Sounds like Seattle residents would enjoy more freedom if they moved to Cuba.

[Secret Agent Man]

Agenda 21.

Also the police have easier times busting into apartments and multi-family units than single homes. More “legal” ways to do so.

Its why they want all of us living in citizens cells.

[Secret Agent Man]

They may as well call it the dr zhivago plan. For this size house you need four more families living in here.

[Steve_Seattle]

They’ve been moving in this direction for years. They don’t want Jeffersonian landowners, they want a subservient proletariat.

[Steve_Seattle]

A few years ago I was talking to a woman - a Vietnamese refugee from an upper-middle class family - who said that the communist government confiscated their home before they fled the country. I asked her if she knows who’s living in her old family home. “Yes,” she said, “the communists.”

[txrefugee]

Strange that so many people are moving into the path of destruction when the mega-volcano buries Seattle.

[lowbridge]

“The city needs to move away from the idea that all families can live in their own home on a piece of land, according to a draft letter from a Seattle advisory committee.”

Those old soviet communists sure knew their stuff. Let them lead the way.

[Molon Labbie]

Please hurry comrade, I too need to use the communal squat hole...

[telstar12.5]

There MUST be something in the water up in the Pacific North West.

[longtermmemmory]

or they have a crony with an apartment building business.
