Expansionist, individualist, and exclusionary patterns of housing
If youve heard that Green New Deal supporters want to increase government control over all facets of life more than they want to protect the environment, well, heres more evidence of that.
An assistant professor of urban planning at UCLA argues in the far-left magazine The Nation that California is doomed as long as people keep owning homes.
If we want to keep cities safe in the face of climate change, we need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership, says Kian Goh, who researches urban ecological design, spatial politics and social mobilization in the context of climate change and global urbanization.
Goh considers it news rather than fevered speculation that we may only have a dozen years to contain global warming, as shown by destructive California wildfires in recent months and precautionary power shutoffs by utility companies.

Come and take it, you communist maggot, but be sure your affairs are in order first.
If every Watermelon environmentalist comitted suicide the climate could be saved!
After all, what’s not to crave about the sterile concrete Shangri-La’s of Soviet-style state housing?
Bet the prof would just love those Stalin era housing monstrosity projects.
Commie fruitcake probably figures concentration camps would be an improvement. Environment is more important than human beings.
The professor is more than welcome to come live with me.
Frankly I’m getting tired of scrubbing toilets.
I remember about 20 years ago reading an article in Time magazine (?) where an “environmental” activist admitted that their goal was to stop white people from moving to the suburbs to avoid having to live with blacks. That’s what the campaign against privately owned homes is also all about.
The smarties never consider the magnitude of the coercion they propose. It seems at some level the coercion seek would be worse then the “problem” they seek to remedy. Of course they don’t seek to fix anything. Power is the end goal.
They desire power, and they do not care what they have to do to get it.
The person who wrote this reminds me of Pol Poi in Cambodia.
Well,, professor, seeing as I am on the side of Climate in this war of The Climate versus Communists, I think I’m going to keep my house.
Go Climate!

California is doomed as long as far-left moonbats like Kian Goh and illegal aliens are allowed to continue f—king up the state.

Well allrighty then. How dare I be an individual expanding on my exclusive right to own property....
I do like that the outright communists are simply coming right out with their communism.
Makes them easier to identify.
If high density city life was better for the environment then it would be cheaper to live there. The cost of something is proportional to its energy consumption and pollution.
Leftist queer foreigner....don’t like the US, don’t live and work here.
“These people are a serious threat.”
This will never happen. I have never met a woman who does not want a dream home.
Besides, Civil War II would happen long before the gov’t took away our homes because that would mean they took our guns.
I understand what you are saying though these greenies are gangerous
You peons must all live in the city in govt housing
Just another educated fool.

Some children never learn that it is better to be seen than heard.
This one is absolutely full of herself and should be ignored.
