The increasing encroachment of government regulations, pontificating politicians and the enforcement of Social Justice schemes have led to a loss of understanding of the terms private property and property rights.
Once it was understood that the unauthorized entering of private property was a violation to the utmost. The property owner was justified and supported in taking necessary actions to remove the trespasser and secure that land. Today, such ideas in the new America are considered radical, old fashioned, out of touch, and even reprehensible. The homeowner can be arrested for defending against an armed intruder. The intruder can actually sue a homeowner for shooting them even as they break down the door intending to rob and do harm. Home protection is called violence, perhaps even racism. It’s a whole new world of compliance, fear, and acceptance rather than pride, protection, and prosperity in ownership.
The Green New Deal is the current name for the agenda to control living standards and obliterate private property and sound energy sources. Massive wind and solar farms bury massive amounts of land under their steel and concrete infrastructures, as private land and farms lying in their path find it nearly impossible to co-exist. Driving people off the rural lands and into the cities is the stated goal.
Inside the growing high rise city forests, the new Biden Administration is now preparing an all-out assault on private property ownership. In the name of Climate Change, Biden plans to form “denser, more affordable housing next to public transit.” This is be done by removing zoning protection for single-family neighborhoods, destroying property values as public housing complexes are moved into the neighborhood. This is already being done in Oregon and in cities such as Minneapolis, where the mayor calls single-family zoning, “racist.”
Landlords are also under attack as some new policies are actually forbidding them to even ask if a potential tenant can afford to pay the rent. Meanwhile, more regulations on landlords are raising costs, yet forbidding them the ability to raise rents.
Most of these programs come under programs with names such as Smart Growth or Sustainable Development, and are enforced through community comprehensive development plans mandated by state legislatures and funded through federal grants, primarily from HUD, EPA, or the Department of Transportation. Compliance to the grants dictates even more Sustainable policy.
The most recent attack on property rights, now gaining momentum across the nation, is called 30×30. The plan calls for locking away 30% of America’s land and waters. Under Biden’s new EO, at least 30% of all land in the U.S. would be permanently set aside and maintained in a natural state. Activities such as energy development, forest management, livestock grazing, mineral exploration and development, and many recreational uses would be prohibited. This would require at least 680 million acres of land to be set aside – more land than the entire federal government currently manages.
Most of the land dedicated to achieving the 30 x 30 goal necessarily will be the federal land found in the 11 western states and Alaska. Forcing rural communities and businesses that depend on the use of public lands and national forests to bear the brunt of the program would be inequitable. There is no other alternative, however. The bottom line is that “30 x 30” is an excuse to end the productive use of public lands and national forests and to set aside massive tracts of land to remain fallow.
If these policies for community development, landlord control, and confiscation of rural lands are allowed to carry out to their logical conclusion, eventually there will be no private property in the United States and all housing, farming, and industry will be simply government programs. In a word, communism.

Looks like we’ll be going the way of Dr. Zhivago.
UN Agenda 21 / 2030 ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Nailed it!
Would you still agree when a near majority of Apartment Complexes have foreign ownership - either Communist Chinese or Indian? And these companies are the most aggressive in late fees, evictions and do on? These are the slum lords of today.
We need laws restricting foreign ownership as is done in most of the world.
Another example is the “vacancy tax” that is now being used against investors who don’t rent out their properties to tenants. In places like SF and Oakland, a tax (penalty) is now assessed, essentially forcing property owners to rent out their properties.
However, the Supreme Court has long held that a fundamental property right is the right to exclude others from your property.
Just in time to cue Comrade Kaprugina:

Biden picking up from where Obama left off.
Without full Republican cooperation and Republican appointed Justices there would be no President Biden.
Just the fact that police don’t give a fig about solving “property crimes” shows how little value property rights have now.
They don’t even care about returning your car.
Rush once made the point that your body IS your property, and thus by extension non-body property is also important.
But we treat the body as if it is totally separate from property, and right now, the body is more important. Only if you are killed do the authorities care at all, and maybe actual battery.
We need to understand that ALL property is important.
The unstoppable communist purge is rolling along gathering steam...
Not to many sheeple care...
It is going to get much, much, much worse...
Thanks!
Red states matter
What really bugs the crap out of me is this whole “title-lock” stuff. What? Now, I’m supposed to pay more than just my taxes to keep some bank from colluding with a con man... Just exactly how is it that I become indebted to a bank who wrongly loans money to a shyster? The bank is the victim, the shyster the criminal. How is it that I have any part in it when I did NOTHING? Let the bank suffer their stupidity and let the law hunt down the shyster. BUT NO! NOW! The “ONUS” is being thrust upon us to keep the bank from colluding with the shyster... HENCE the whole “title-lock” scam. Guess who dreampt up the whole “title-lock” scam? The banks and the shysters.
9 years. Not sure I’ll still be around then. More and more, I’m beginning to question wither I really want to. At the moment, I doubt it.
Biden isn’t making policy.
Paul Ryan... is sitting behind his FENCED mansion. As though he earned it. Where did the money come from? He could NEVER pay for it from his salary. So where did the money come from? It sure as hell wasn’t from the salary from the people. So WHO was he REALLY working for?
Glad to see DeWeese is still around.
Property rights have been violated routinely since the “Civil Rights” craze came upon us in the 1950s. The anti-drug craze finally ended them. In today’s post-Constitution era of illegitimate tyranny there is no such thing as property rights altogether. And the GOPee voted for it! GOPee Delenda Est!
