And what is the vision that animates the "Growing Smart" guidelines that served as a basis for the Senate bill? The Sierra Club last year conducted an exercise in which it attempted to define the optimum density for American cities. It came up with a figure of 500 families per acre. As economist Randal O'Toole of the Thoreau Institute has pointed out, this is roughly twice the density of the densest parts of Manhattan--on a par with the densest cities of Asia.

From the above article. Pretty scary.

OH, my God! 500 families per acre? But not Hitlery and her troops! All the socialists/communists would have their summer homes and their winter homes and their DC homes and their New York homes and lands-------while the rest of us are crammed into Asian like squalor filled ghettos!

This is a tremendous winning issue that MUST be used by Republicans everywhere! The Dems have side with the "government planners" in every area of our lives - and now they are getting down to the final "chip" of telling people where they will live and where they will not live - and people will rise up in this nation against that - if they only know about it!!! SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
