It is so weird when people describe the removal of regulation as a government conspiracy to control.
Single family homes and parking are not being banned. You can still build them in all of these zones. The difference is now you have a choice between building that or denser housing, you can choose the amount of parking to build.
If anything the single use suburbia is even more controlling, meant to keep captive suburban consumers at the teat of the chains in shopping malls, and the auto and oil corporations.
- verisimi 2y agoIs it impossible to you that removal (and addition) of legislation could form part of a coordinated thrust towards implementing certain other goals? Every local government has plans to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). Did you put anyone choose/vote for this? You might cheer it, but were you given a choice? You were not. Most simply think this is fine and go along with the effective transfer of power from local government, to the UN. It is global government applied locally.
- bobthepanda 2y agoYou could literally describe all representative government actions as a conspiracy this way. It’s so vague and baseless to be meaningless. If anything, Seattle (one of the subjects of TFA) is in a state where the governor has been directly elected to three terms with larger margins each time, where one of his signature policies is dealing with climate change, and his largest base of support is the Seattle metropolitan area.
- aclatuts 2y agoI doubt you were old enough to be around and voting for councillors pushing for parking minimums back in the 1950s. You were born into a lot of rules you never chose or voted for. But you happen to like these parking rules.
