Democrats Seek To Outlaw Suburban, Single-Family House Zoning, Calling It Racist And Bad For The Environment
Daily Caller ^ | 12/23/19 | Luke Rosiak

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.

It will make it easier to go from house to house to search for weapons and to kill Virginians who don’t give them up

There is a replacement for a few apartments 10 store former shopping center near me that was totally demolished and the land sold to a developer.

Rows of “projects” looking conformity. The starkly plain look of the rows and rows of windows and uniform cinder blocks all painted pale green “looks like the Soviet bloc housing in Poland” according to someone from there. That’s our Commie rulers’ future for all of us.

So efficient. So sterile. So climate change conscious.

So horrifying.

If a White person wants a house they have to invite a few nonwhite families to live with them ? The Dems should go first and set an example

Our elections are always the year after Presidential elections.
We won’t have a chance to change this until 2021.
