A social engineering bill to restrict residence in the suburbs and rural areas and force Americans into city centers has passed the United States Senate Banking Committee and is on the fast track to passage in the Senate.
The bill is called the Livable Communities Act (SB 1619) and it was introduced by corruptocrat outgoing Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.). It seeks to fulfill the United Nation’s plan Agenda 21, adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and signed onto by “New World Order” President George H.W. Bush.
This bill is designed to destroy your community. According to the non-profit American Policy Center the bill:

We’ve been living with this “smart growth” in Maryland for years. It’s highlights:
1) limit growth in suburbs by citing “insufficient capacity” in schools, roads, or water supplies.
2) Don’t build school, road or water capacity, so growth is never allowed to resume
3) Have local planning commissions downzone rural land to permit fewer houses per acre (upper Baltimore County, Maryland is maximum 1 house / 20 acres)
4) Increase population densities in “townhome” developments (single-family attached housing) and other high-density developments
5) attempt to force people into the existing urban areas by favorable tax credits and other gimmicks.
6) Enact and enforce crazy laws to stifle development and construction. Some highlights - mandate fire sprinklers in all homes, mandate zero runoff during construction, limit waste that can be generated during construction, limit hours that construction will be allowed (they call the police if you turn on a machine before 7 am weekdays or 9 am on weekends).
7) Add “impact fees” for each new home. These fees in some Maryland counties are over $25,000 per home.
So the end result is more expensive housing in suburbs, but since the cities are insanely dangerous (Baltimore makes “Escape from New York” seem like a comedy), no one wants to move there anymore. Google “Zach Sowers” if you’d like to see Baltimore in action. Kid was beat almost to death, but while in a coma our corrupt city prosecutors cut plea bargains for the accused. Zach later dies, but perps will be out in a few months or years because they pled out prior to his death.
In the Christian Bible, man is told to "spread out" and multiply. So, moving into a city is against my religion.
Of course my 2 POS senators are in on this. Oh how I hate them both.
It's been about that time. It's just that too many that claim to be concerned are not concerned enough to actually do something about it.
The Bible tells us to "spread out." So, our religious freedoms have to be protected.
Luckily this has no chance of passing anytime soon.
LBE (lead by example) Chris! When all you DC politicians and lobbyists move into Blade Runner-eque urban cubicles, let me know.

“It is about time to take the musket from the mantle.”
Just make sure you have powder and ball or else you’ll be using it as a club.
“Have the safeguards built into the COTUS completely failed us?”
No, But those elected to follow and apply the Constitution have failed us. Abyssmally.
How long has that been in works? Do you know that for sure? (Your comment is one of the worst things I’ve read in the last 2 years and that’s saying something. I’d rather know than not know but that is REALLY bad news.)
“I see it coming: The foreclosed homes will be doled out (redistributed) to the workers who will only have to pay what they can afford to pay to live in them.”
Coming? It’s already here. What do you think is being done with all those foreclosed homes? They are being turned into Section 8 homes. It was done with a foreclosed house down the street. Now it is Section 8 and a very large family of non-English speakers now live there for next to nothing, with the taxpayers paying the majority of the rent.
Well and good, but its about incentives as a substitute for law. You’re free, under your religion, to live wherever you want, but we will make sure you can’t afford to live anywhere but where we want you to live. So the battle is to get control of the perverse incentive system via constitutional imperatives. Not sure what that looks like.
