$100 million ... that is the average tax burden of 10,000 American families. Last week the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced $100 million in grants to "to support more livable and sustainable communities across the country." This Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program is a new program funded for the first time this year. Did you hear that? New spending! Another $100 million of borrowed money so that our imperial federal government can "create more housing choices, make transportation more efficient and reliable, reinforce existing investments, and support the kinds of neighborhoods that attract businesses."
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan says, "Planning our communities smarter means parents will spend less time driving and more time with their children; more families will live in safe, stable communities near good schools and jobs; and more businesses will have access to the capital and talent they need to grow and prosper."
The government doesn't plan communities. Who among you would really want to live in a government-planned community? Can you imagine what happens when considerations of political correctness and multiculturalism play a hard hand in the planning of the "sustainable community" you're going to have to live in? I'm promising you ... in the government-planned "sustainable community" of tomorrow I can imagine a scenario where you submit an application to purchase a home or condo. Your application then goes to the Sustainability Council for approval. Soon you get a letter telling you that in the interests of multiculturalism you will not be allowed to proceed with your purchase of the home unless you can find an Hispanic family that is willingto move into the community also. Racial balances must be maintained.
Let's stop this nonsense now. Communities are "planned," if you will, by the free actions and choices of the private sector people who develop them based on marketing surveys or other information gleaned from the private sector.
Too damned much government.

I totally agree with you on this - you know me: no neighbors at all is fine!
