The New Danger...

 I found this on SaveArlington.com

Cul-de-sacs?! Really, cul-de-sacs? You see, the video above was created to deliver a message. That message is that you are taking up too much space! This term is often referred to as "sprawl" by groups such as the Council for New Urbanism (CNU) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). In fact, the video you just watched that said "private lawns" are a threat to the planet was created by the North Texas division of the CNU. So why would anything the CNU says or believes have any effect on us? After all, they're just a non-profit organization right?.......
Need I remind you, I'm 20 years old, my generation will be the ones taking on the burden of our already staggering 14 Trillion dollar debt this country owns. This Thoroughfare and Development Plan is nothing more than writing a hot check for $233 million when your account reads -$14,000.000,000,000,000. So let me end by giving you the real answer to the question: What is the biggest threat facing our planet?
The answer is D. Government. When government begins to team up with groups such as the North Texas Congress for New Urbanism, and begins developing policies based around that organizations beliefs, and not the constitutional foundation they should be tamed to, it becomes a threat to our planet, our liberties, and our freedom. From here, read about the Charter of the New Urbanism or the 2035 Mobility Plan to learn how all of this ties with the Hike and Bike Master Plan.

City Council meetings are very interesting. One council meeting I went to in Washington State was standing room only. 90% of the citizens attending were against the proposed plan. It passed.

It's everywhere, but people are too lazy to vote in local elections. It's happening in city counsels, school boards, Property committees. You have to keep an eye on these people that get a little power and it goes to their heads.
