>HTMAPODWTTC 13: Getting Other People's Cooperation  - Nathan Lewis - New World Economics
This higher density housing concept is nothing but a stinking load of manure. City councils, while desiring higher density housing, are continually striving to find and implement least cost food sources yet no councilor that I have ever met (and I’ve met my share of them) has had the mental capacity to think positively when regarding 1/8th acre lots where people actually grow their own food. Yes that's right, give us a plot of dirt where we can plant and harvest a goodly portion of our own food and it will go a long way to calming those who worry about useless things like carbon foot prints. Instead lets cram the people into high density area's just like the images the author posted of German towns, now how are they supposed to feed themselves? Well they will most likely go to the nearest big grocery stores conveniently located around the corner as per the developers plans where everything is trucked in from Mexico and South America rather than a farmers market which is some distance away and since they don't have a vehicle, they sold it when they moved into this walkable community, and public transit it a pain the arse to use because it doesn't run where they need it to, they'll keep buying imported produce and canned goods. Yes, let’s keep giving people in other countries a pay check rather than the local farmer or small plot producer. Side note, getting a permit from a city or town council to start a communal/community garden is so difficult because of all the government regulations (the FDA never misses a chance to push its own agenda) that the few that have fought their way through the process finally gave up and shut the operation because the FDA/County/city regulations were impossible to implement. Has the author ever bothered to talk with any of the in habitants of such dwellings? I doubt it for if he had he would have come away with a different view point. Many who live in such dwellings do so out of necessity, not choice. Yes there will be some who actually choose to live like that and could never envision themselves working a garden but then there have always been leeches in society, with a nod to those who really are physically handicapped and such dwellings make sense.

These liberal morons who want nothing more than to create ghettos in every corner of every country so the people can be better controlled and made more reliant on the government when disaster strikes should all be shipped off to the front lines of any war to fight for either side (doesn't matter which side as long as they get to shoot at each other and thereby eliminate themselves) instead of placing on the front lines young and intelligent "soldiers" who would be better utilized actually serving their countries by helping out the disadvantaged within their societies. Stop for a moment and recall what happened in New Orleans when Katrina hit. Where was the ever serving government when civil people had to become savage like to survive? Well, they were off in Da Capital making sure the banksters were getting enough green backs to cover their gambling losses.

Socialists like nothing better than to have people crammed into sardine cans sat in front of idiot boxes watching reruns of useless sitcoms eating mind numbing processed foods, just so long as the masses stay stupid and dependent on the socialist payola. A well fed, stupefied, and mostly happy idiot will keep voting in the jackass's that put them in the sardine cans.

Beginning of the headline :A friend who works in a municipal government in Canada wrote to me recently (reprinted with permission): The town I work in (where I am a planner) just approved a project in which we tried hard to get close to the traditional city ideals you promote (and I firmly believe in). We pushed the developer HARD on narrow streets and we ended up in a major battle with our own Engineering and Fire Departments.  British Columbia’s building code requires 6 metres... Read More
