What has happened to Virginia with their gun-confiscating law and now this? Seems we have a prophet on the board called Travis McGee. He wrote about Virginia being the flash point of a coming civil war.
They hate the fact that sane people worked their pigmentation-deprived a$$es off to be able to afford to live in peace.
Democrats hate that, and want to turn safe sanctuaries into inner city hellholes.
The assault on the American dream continues.
Even in the suburbs outside Austin (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, ...), it is almost all single-family housing. Good luck pushing this area of Texas into high-density housing.
I live inside the city limits in my town.
We have small lots interspersed with multiple-acreage lots.
We have chickens, cows, horses, pigs, deer, raccoons, the occasional coyote-— inside the city limits, a short stroll from the courthouse square.
For the most part, we build whatever we want on our private property. We do have setbacks & permit rules with a nod to fire safety. Nobody has a right to build too close to a neighbor, causing fire to spread.
When the city council tried to install a 100-unit HUD project in our midst, we said, Nope, & stopped it.
“...whether residents want it or not.”
This is the Democrats’ theory of governance.
they are out to destroy our way of life and then worse.
UN Agenda 21 at work to destroy you.
“... Virginia House Del. Ibraheem Samirah...”. End of my reading.
California has been doing the same for the past 10 years.
Nothing but high-density housing is going up.
People in suburbs did not vote for them. This is what the dems call lawfare. Means to use the laws in a type of war against those they do not like. They don't even hide it anymore.
Another stupid call by the government in their efforts to force joining of the races and will end up separating them.
Whether you own or rent a home, living in the suburbs of most major cities is more expensive than living in the city itself, according to a survey conducted by Zillow late last year (even if urban property is usually much more expensive).
According to Business Insider, there are 6 very substantial costs in the suburbs that separate them from the city living:
Groceries cost more in suburbs than in cities.
You need to buy more gas in the suburbs.
Property taxes can rise dramatically
Transportation costs add up
The costs of nature
Energy costs
Most of these lead to costs beyond city dwelling and are financial problems that raise the cost if you wish to remain in a well built home and travel to work or even to the grocery store.

So I am sure they will be putting these in the rich neighborhoods like the Hamptons right? Malibu, Laguna?
If it's private property rights you want, get rid of zoning entirely. If a developer buys the house next door, tears it down and puts in a duplex, or maybe a ten unit apartment building … well, he's the owner, and he has a right to do it.
The suburbs have brought a lot of this down upon themselves with exclusionary zoning and a failure by so many suburban jurisdictions to accept and plan rationally for their fair share of low income housing.
The particulars will vary considerably from one city to another. I live in DC. In this area, the suburbs have operated for decades on the assumption that the District would be the dumping ground for the entire region. Now gentrification is pricing a lot of the poor out of the District. They have to go somewhere. Looking at the metro region as a whole, DC still has more than its share of the poor, but the balance is shifting.
Most freepers would advocate controlling our borders and stopping illegal immigration. That would be a start. But we're not doing that. So here we are. We're pricing the poor out of DC. I hear Annandale and Darnestown are nice. There are a lot of suburban ramblers on nice cul de sacs that could easily house three families. There's even room for multiple cars on concrete blocks in the front yard. Better your neighborhood than mine. I've already paid my dues.
If that doesn't strike you as a good solution, you need to engage constructively in regional planning to spread the burden of low income housing. The poor WANT to move to the suburbs. That's where most of the jobs are, especially the service type jobs for which they might qualify. Crime is lower and the public schools are better. Housing costs are lower. Let 'em move. Let 'em double and triple up, illegally if necessary, in suburban housing. You can't assume they're just DC's problem any more. We're pricing them out. It's the free market at work. It's ok with me if you're the only English speaking person in your carpool.
