Sounds like Obama or his advisers have been playing Sim City.
Can we start with Wash DC first .. and then Obama's home town Chicago
Get rid of areas that are only crime ridden, unproductive eyesores. Turn them back into farms and parks.
...but the "people" living in these areas will have to go to other areas, nicer areas, maybe your neighborhood...
They can stay in the hell of their own creation.
I was not aware I lived in hell. LOL. Guess I should start killing and stealing as hell is pretty nice. And what exactly is so horrible about knocking down places that are practically abandoned anyway?
He said: "The obsession with growth is sadly a very American thing. Across the US, there's an assumption that all development is good, that if communities are growing they are successful. If they're shrinking, they're failing."
Killdee is right, growth means jobs and exports of goods and incoming money. The progressive objective is shrinkage, reduction of jobs, importing of goods and exporting of jobs by creating high labor costs and high production costs in the US via vast webs of regulations and the costs involved in paying unionized government employees to make sure these regulations are upheld.
"The city wants to specialize in health and education services, both areas which cannot easily be relocated abroad and both of which are taxpayer funded and in th case of education, employees unionized progressive public school teachers. When the health care system is socialized, health care employees will become progressive unionized taxpayer paid employees too.
""Much of the land will be given back to nature. People will enjoy living near a forest or meadow," he said." The sharecroppers will then have a place to grow the King's crops.
"The city is buying up houses in more affluent areas to offer people in neighborhoods it wants to demolish." This will insure that the affluent will either flee or become contributors to the wealth redistribution activists and then flee, which means more demolition will be needed.
We want to return America to a pre industrial agrarian society where Obama owns all the land and industry and the citizens are mere share croppers and are not allowed to own land or hunting weapons to use against the King's game animals. This is the the way it oughta be, the way it was previous to the Magna Carta and later rights proclaiming documents. The vast majority of Americans support Obama which means they want what Obama wants.
Bulldozing abandoned buildings worked in NYC under Giuliani. What good do a bunch of decaying, unused houses do in a place like Detroit?
It is noteworthy that Obama has not said these things. This guy is saying that.
Did Katrina already try this? I think we are still paying through the nose for it.
