Democrats Seek To Outlaw Suburban, Single-Family House Zoning, Calling It Racist And Bad For Environment

• Virginia House Del. Ibraheem Samirah introduced a bill that would override local zoning officials to permit multi-family housing in every neighborhood, changing the character of quiet suburbs.
• Oregon passed a similar bill, following moves by cities such as Minneapolis; Austin, Texas; and Seattle.
• Proponents say urban lifestyles are better for the environment and that suburbs are bastions of racial segregation.

Democrats in Virginia may override local zoning to bring high-density housing, including public housing, to every neighborhood statewide — whether residents want it or not.

The measure could quickly transform the suburban lifestyle enjoyed by millions, permitting duplexes to be built on suburban lots in neighborhoods previously consisting of quiet streets and open green spaces. Proponents of “upzoning” say the changes are necessary because suburbs are bastions of segregation and elitism, as well as bad for the environment. 

The move, which aims to provide “affordable housing,” might be fiercely opposed by local officials throughout the state, who have deliberately created and preserved neighborhoods with particular character — some dense and walkable, others semi-rural and private — to accommodate people’s various preferences.

But Democrats tout a state-level law’s ability to replace “not in my backyard” with “yes, in your backyard.”

House Delegate Ibraheem Samirah, a Democrat, introduced six housing measures Dec. 19, coinciding with Democrats’ takeover of the state legislature in November.

“Single-family housing zones would become two-zoned,” Samirah told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Areas that would be impacted most would be the suburbs that have not done their part in helping out.” 

“The real issues are the areas in between very dense areas which are single-family zoned. Those are the areas that the state is having significant trouble dealing with. They’re living in a bubble,” he said.

He said suburbs were “mostly white and wealthy”

Sigh.....we do nothing about it. It’s sad that so many things once thought of as conspiracy are now our reality. There is an element in “conservative” think that is in denial in how the left is winning as America is being slash and burned.

BUT NOT FOR THEMSELVES, OF COURSE!

“Hey Virginia: you voted for Demscum. Welcome to becoming the American version of Venezuela. No pity here for anyone who voted Demscum. The rest: get out now if you can.”

Yup. Let ‘em live with the pain.

Of course, somehow, the D’s will manage to blame the nasty consequences on R’s and the local media will push that story hard.

They have always wanted to pile us up like rats in a cage for about the last 100 years or so.

It’s all about controlling people’s lives; ever notice that the old Soviet Union didn’t like it when people moved around.

Deport this idiot to whatever middle eastern cat box he came from.

If he was sincere, the first group of Section 8 housing ought to be built next door to his house.

Nancy Pelosi introducing Agenda 21 legislation in the House.

Trump should terminate every Agenda 21 Executive Order going back to 12852.

Every time I see a Muslim in a position of power, I wonder how identities has he or she stolen and how much money have they ripped off from our people.

It would make for an entertaining experience if some forensic accountants were to go over his bank accounts with a fine tooth comb and if a crackerjack PI were to do a criminal background check and run his fingerprints in the national database and run his DNA through CODIS.

“UN’s Agenda 21, published some time ago.”

It began implementation with E.O. 12852 in 1993 continued with many more through obama.

Numerous Bills were passed that further embedded it into domestic policy.

ICLEI, an arm of the UN illegally works at the local city, county level to ensure implementation.

VIRGINIA CHECKPOINTS: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Posted by Matt Bracken | Dec 21, 2019

This excerpt from my 2003 novel “Enemies Foreign And Domestic” takes place two weeks after a false-flag sniper attack on a packed football stadium, one week after all semi-automatic “assault rifles” are banned, and a few days after a prominent anti-gun Senator from Maryland is assassinated.

Improbably, it all takes place in Virginia, which in the novel is taking the lead in the new gun confiscation efforts.

I really don’t think they did vote for this. I think the Elections in Virginia are questionable at best today.
