Re: @17: the stack & pack housing is going to be paid for by taxpayers. It’s all about subsidized housing, redistribution of wealth, making communities absorb the cost of supporting illegals and welfare recipients. The plan is totally upfront about “equitable outcomes” being a core part of it. The condescending attitude of the presenters at the public meetings is just another indicator that what we might want does not count.

The move to create another Mumbai – stack em and rack em style of housing in the South Bay has been going on since the mid-90s. Is it for the environment or is it for the making of money?

Clearly it is not for the environment. If people will pay to own property on top of one another and thus create a higher ROI for the REITs, that is their choice.

If you actually look at it, stacking more people into smaller areas is what creates great places like Rio de Janeiro. Think about what I just said and how most of Rio is a slum.

Yeah, you need to really think about it. The greenhouse gas effect folly they are trying to “prevent” will be thrice that in short order.

Enjoy it folks. =) Funny how I don’t see anything dedicated in the plans related to a high speed corridor gashing San Jose in half, do you? Imagine that. Something that enormous without a dedicated section.

If you want to see the future of social engineering, try to read the planning commission documentation buried to where you can’t make heads or tails of what is really going on.

I see that the occupy movement marched on the Capital Building and Supreme Court today in DC. Last week they protested in front of Obama’s campaign HQ’s. In December they marched on the Federal Reserve Building in San Francisco. At least they’re doing something. What protest methods does the Tea Party use??? Letters and telephone calls to their congressmen??? How’s that worked out??? After Sarah Palin successfully manipulated the anger of the Tea Partiers and wrote her million-dollar book I haven’t heard much from her. Did she resign her leadership role as soon as the check from the publisher cleared the bank??? 😀

Nonetheless (relative to these comments about the Tea Party being too weak to do anything, the pride of the suburbanite, the confused Independent, ad infinitum) WE who care (and I think that is all of us who posted comments), must never ever ever give up. Seriously! Also, just try to keep educating people. It works, one by one. I am one who was completely ignorant just 4 years ago. I thought our country would do nothing to harm me or mine. A friend of mine gently woke me up; Robin Rohr. I’m awake now, and waking others. I actually voted for Obama out of my ignorance. Let’s just keep trying to shine the light on those who are still ignorant, as I was.

Years ago, when I lived in Ventura, CA. I visited the Bay area and San Francisco twice, maybe three times, and couldn’t wait to get out of there. Why anyone would choose to live there is beyond any comprehension. I’ll take South Texas over anything CA has to offer. Texas born and bred, California can shove it.

The one thing that strikes me as interesting about this is that they do not explain where the Bay Area is getting the additional 2 million people. I think I know the answer. Part of those will be from the 70,000 residents of Klamath and Siskiyou Counties when the dams from on Klamath River are removed and it destroys their farms, ranches and businesses. Another portion will be from Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte Counties now that the timber and ranching industries there are being eliminated. Some may be from the Central Valley where the restrictions on water are destroying farms and agriculture.

I’m very happy that the government is planning to allow all these displaced persons to relocate to the One Bay Area Zone of California where we can all live in little rooms and walk to our government assigned jobs. They will have to be government assigned jobs considering how quickly California is hemorrhaging privately owned-businesses.

I do have one little question. Once the agriculture, ranches, timber industry and fishing industry are destroyed in rural areas in the name of environmental justice, where are people going to get the food and raw materials to live in the Government-controlled One Bay Area Zone?

btw, hey CalWatchdog, yes, it’s true…..at the moment, the majority of Tea Party Patriots are old. That’s because we recognized the stench of tyranny and have gathered to do battle against it. Most of the younger citizens are busy bad mouthing old folks on their ipads!!
Put your playstation away and stand with us. See you at church on Saturday!

“Sensitive to the blowback from suburbanites who cling to their McMansions and SUVs”???

What an insensiteve and biased comment from this reporter. How come he didn’t say:

“Sensitive to the blowback from urbanites who cling to their 300 sq/ft. apartments, gangbanging heroin-addict neighbors, filthy streets, failing school systems and exploding Chevy Volts?
