We must all move into Soviet bloc style housing. Individuality must be eliminated. We must surrender our children to the state. Goodby sweet America.

I’m sure Bill Gates will be willing to share his home with a hundred new illegal immigrants. Start with him.

Kick out the 30-60 million illegal aliens in the US and we have lots of room. And either way those blocks of housing really work out great in NYC. Is that what Seattle wants in its future?!

so say our econut overlords who live in their large single family’homes and fly round in their private jets.

single family’housing keeps violent behavior down. racking and stacking people in small areas causes far more problems.

I heard Seattle’s mayor wants to make sure we have Islamic mortgages available for Muslims. Since Islam prohibits paying interest, his view was that Muslims are prevented from buying homes in Seattle.

But Islam does allow for a type of equity sharing financial arrangement, which does not charge interest . so then users of such mortgages can make Allah happy.

The population of America has more than doubled in my lifetime.

After World War II with the aid of the G.I. Bill and mortgage loan guarantees to veterans, pioneers in housing like Leavitt of Levittown made suburban America the goal of every inner-city dweller and created one of the most harmonious, democratic, and prosperous societies on earth. They created a wholesome atmosphere where Beaver could grow up, an atmosphere heartily despised by leftists.

Every man a freeholder, every dwelling a castle. Government numerically on a small scale where the freeholder could actually talk to his mayor and councilman and have his voice heard and his opinion weighed. These are the indicia of real Jeffersonian democracy but they are anathema to the left.

The left always tries to change the forum to one which it can dominate. We see that with Obama's Iran negotiations, he rushes the deal to the Security Council rather than to the House and the Senate where he has already changed the deal anyway from two thirds needed for approval to two thirds needed for disapproval. So the left seeks to undo all the freedom that comes with suburbia by changing the locus, by getting rid of suburbia.

The left will succeed in the next half-century if it can succeed once again in doubling the population of America. I say one more time to reflexive exponents of open-ended population expansion who think this is a conservative position, that you cannot have liberty and overpopulation.

fta... ... in a world increasingly challenged by climate change.
**********************************
Climate change has been happening for millions upon millions of years. Happens every year because the Earth is slightly tilted on its axis, which is maintained by the Moon, so we have varying degrees of exposure to the Sun. We refer to this occurrence as our four seasons.

Why can’t these idiots drop the phoney term “climate change”, which everyone knows happens, and say that they really mean “AGW”? It’s because everyone knows AGW is a hoax!
