Burn Down the Suburbs? That’s what Stanley Kurtz says will be the result of Obama’s regional plans to redistribute the wealth from those who live in ‘sprawl’ to the cities.
“The centerpiece of the Obama administration’s anti-suburban plans is a little-known and seemingly modest program called the Sustainable Communities Initiative. The “regional planning grants” funded under this initiative — many of them in battleground states like Florida, Virginia, and Ohio — are set to recommend redistributive policies, as well as transportation and development plans, designed to undercut America’s suburbs. Few have noticed this because the program’s goals are muffled in the impenetrable jargon of “sustainability,” while its recommendations are to be unveiled only in a possible second Obama term.”
We note however, this has been going on before Obama and will likely continue after it if not stopped.
