When Standard Oil was busted up in 1910 they gov broke it into 30 different companies, and now here we are 102 years later and e basically have Standard Oil again, except 5 there are 5 divisions-Exxon, Shell, Chevron, Texaco and BP.

Nothing does more damage to our environment than housing development and developers love nothing more than govt programs to build housing.

Senate Bill 535, sponsored by State Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, would spend Cap and Trade money building affordable housing, hospitals and schools. (Good news for developers—note it will all be used for affordable housing — schools and hospitals require a high degree of construction quality and accountability developers hate.)

AB 2404, the Local Emissions Reduction Fund, sponsored by Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes. D-Arleta, spend Cap and Trade monies on Strategic Growth.

There is the magic phrase “smart growth”….it means high density development that developers want anyway because it allows them to maximize profits. They just got you (since you will in the end be paying these fees) to pay for THEIR very profitable projects.

What is the Strategic Growth Council?

The Strategic Growth Council was authorized under Senate Bill 732 in 2008, sponsored by State Sen. Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento gets to use money to: “increase the availability of affordable housing, encourage greater infill and compact development, revitalize community and urban centers, and assist state and local entities in the planning of sustainable communities.”

Cap and Trade is being used to destroy our environment and hand more $ and power over to housing developers who run our state. They continue to rape the environment, Lennar homes just got the ability to develop 10,000 homes on pristine state land some in a state park…oh but its “affordable housing” so its Ok right? no its not ok. If these people are actually concerned about affordable housing then dolw our the money for vouchers but dont build into oblivion and demolish historic buildings.
