Actually suburbs. There are developments for up and coming gangsters. Lovely Dachas with cute spiral domes, very Russian modern.

California has already been forcing towns to build affordable housing.

The funniest thing you see in Russia are the old Soviet concrete block apartment houses. Funny because Russia is REALLY BIG. Like thousands of miles of uninterrupted forest, with maybe a town or two every couple hundred miles or so.


I noticed that too. Russia has that “big country” feel like the US. I don’t get that feeling in western Europe. Although, the apartments are more like 20 stories in places like Moscow. Just leaving the airports of some Russian cities you enter large seemingly primordial forests before you arrive in the city the airport serves. Development can be wacky there. Probably a lot of that has to do to with corruption.

I now live at an extreme suburban - Wilderness interface.

Mountain Lion visits around the detatched garage some mornings.

I’m never going Venezuela.

its not just for specific cases anymore

the courts have ruled its ok for government to take your property and even give it to other private persons/companies if they are going to do something with it that raises the value of the land, ie taking over private houses for an office complex

this ruling happened in our lifetime, the Kelo decision, summer 2005

https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/23/politics/justices-rule-cities-can-take-property-for-private-development.html

so don’t say it scare tactic

dems will use it and say scotus set the precedent
plus they will tout it as racial fairness

all of the excuses will be bullshiite

but kelo will be touted as legal justification and when libtards want to use the law as a weapon they use the law as a weapon

Yeah. The road from Domodedovo is definitely like that. Sheremetyvo is a bit more urban early on.

The left turn onto the old Domodedovo road is just like said: primordial forest.

And corruption has everything to do with it. Russia is just Mexico with white people. Everything runs on greased palms. That’s actually all they ever fight about...who gets the vig.

AFFH works by holding HUD’s Community Development Block Grants hostage to federal-planning demands. Suburbs won’t be able to get the millions of dollars they’re used to in HUD grants unless they eliminate single-family zoning and densify their business districts.

Withhold state highway money because small communities opt out of HUD grants? Red states would fight it, along with a blizzard of lawsuits from suburban and municipalities.

We must defend private property rights in the suburbs. That includes the right of a property owner, perhaps a developer, to build rental property on his land if he wishes to do so. It also includes the right of a homeowner to subdivide and rent to multiple families in his four bedroom rancher. It includes the right of an older person to take in boarders. Private property rights offer many avenues for addressing the shortage of affordable housing. Exclusionary zoning, on the other hand, is big government interference with the market that creates artificial shortages. Of course, reasonable tradeoffs can be made. If you want exclusionary zoning on your cul de sac, fine, but offset it by accepting densification and multi-family housing along arterial roads and around transit stops. What has to end is the suburban idea that all the problems can be quarantined within the city. Housing costs are lower in the suburbs, which is a natural magnet for lower income people if we let markets function. And jobs, especially entry level service sector jobs, are also increasingly located in the suburbs. If we expect low income people to get off welfare and join the labor force, we should not block them from living close to suburban job centers.

Yeah. The last vestige of Feudalism.

Does it ever occur to people that the bureaucrats and the pols are no different then the old Lords who demanded tribute?

Was never meant to be like that in the US. Certainly not with an income tax added on top.

And property tax was only supposed to be on productive land, not your home. That’s why the “homestead” exemption still exists in most states, even California - it was just frozen at the 1972 value by Prop 13.
