Many years ago, following the initiation of Agenda 21 in 1992, many warned of its various threats, one being that it promoted the concept of “stack & pack” housing. This type of housing need was based on the idea that it would protect the planet through less land use, which could then be protected from human habitation. Agenda 21, Chapter 7, Promoting Sustainable Human Settlement Development, outlined this change in housing and other needed transformations, which included having services within walking or biking distance, and use of mass transportation. All of this would lessen the need for cars, which would again, protect the environment.
But as this ‘protect the planet’ narrative was slowly being rejected, the same propaganda players were behind the narrative shift.
Since Agenda 21, there has been more dense housing put into place across American cities and this housing agenda has only accelerated since 2015 with the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable Cities & Communities. But it goes much deeper than that with infiltration into local governments.
Back in 1993, W.J. Clinton gave the American Planning Association (APA) a multi-million dollar grant to “write a land use legislative blueprint for every municipality in the US.” This blueprint, finished in 2002, was called “Growing Smart Legislative Guidebook with Model Statutes for Planning and the Management of Change”.
It must be remembered that the APA is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that is in consultative status with the United Nations (UN) and is in full cooperation with implementation of UN agendas. UN ideology is taught to all APA members and most city planners are APA members.
On page 4-72, “affordable housing” is addressed with recommendations to prohibit communities from creating ordinances forbidding manufactured housing; direct localities to permit accessory apartments as a right in any single family zone; require localities to include a range of housing; and require all states and local governments modify housing and zoning ordinances to permit density. Beginning on page 6-36, 2(g)(h), it goes on to dictate how a “Regional Comprehensive Plan” should be written, and include dense housing, affordability, and mass transportation to get people out of their cars.
So, for 24 years, indoctrinated APA city planner members have been integrating not only UN ideology into local governments, but the whole idea that there is a need for affordable housing. The APA has been successfully indoctrinating state legislators to create legislation that usurps local government control over its own ordinances.
Across America, this belief that there is an “affordable housing crisis” is nothing more than a narrative shift advocating for the same dense housing. The underlying agenda for dense housing is the same, getting people stacked & packed with walking, biking, and mass transportation to services. The 15-minute city and 20-Minute Suburb both eventually lead to a smart city, which is intended to do nothing more than surveil every activity for control. In order to accomplish this, zoning ordinances are being targeted, forcing density from single-family dwellings to townhomes, duplexes, multi-family, and accessory dwelling units.
Barack Hussein Obama, an Agenda 2030 devotee, began the initial attempt to dismantle zoning with his Fair Housing Act, using claims of racist discrimination in housing. This also resulted in making housing equally available to low-income families so lower-cost housing had to be built. The National Affordable Housing Act, Section 101, “affirms the national goal that every American family be able to afford a decent home in a suitable environment.” This affirms the UN declaration that everyone has a right to housing.
Local governance over zoning laws across America, from Alabama, Idaho, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Maine, Virginia, North Carolina, and Oklahoma, with Montana losing their fight against dense zoning, are being stripped of authority to develop and control their own laws. This, in turn, strips citizen’s rights to participate in decisions about their community and its growth. And it is all coming straight out of the UN and its crony APA comrades.
Comprehensive Plans are being infested with this ideology, urban densification. Small, rural towns are also a target for increased density. All of America is a target for this hoax, and it is moving rapidly because so many are drinking the kool-aid. However, there may be other hidden factors not being discussed.
One factor may be the glut of housing that investors buy up to use as rentals, which the government is attempting to address. Another reason to be cautious about dense housing is that renting is more attractive, especially for younger generations. They, too, have been led to believe that the responsibility of home ownership is something that should be rejected, preferring instead to adopt a sustainable lifestyle by living in a smaller space with no plans to have children, not having to mess with yard work or maintenance issues, and healthier living by walking to work. Plus, it’s cheaper and perhaps, even with the extra housing, it is still unaffordable and easier to continue living with family. It comes down to a lifestyle choice, not an issue of housing.
Maybe the decision to not openly discuss these facts is deliberate. It would counter the narrative for dense housing. What a crafty way to build so much housing for “affordability” that won’t be bought by those they claim can’t afford it, but instead, in the end, be bought for more rental units and rental communities. An affordability message is also a cunning way to continue changing the way in which we live while systematically dismantling our government while the government itself participates in dismantling it!
Everyone needs to stop buying into the narratives because this whole shtick is one step closer to the dream of everyone owning nothing and still being happy.
