The test bed was developed with the projects being thrown up in the inner cities back in the day. Now it's moving on up.

The '10 by 10' argument is incorrect, cited by another poster. Ten by ten is 100 square feet. The proposal envisions a small apartment 300 square feet, or a little bigger than 17 x 17 feet.

So you're saying big cities aren't part of the "real world"?
And you think I'm the one who needs a dose of reality? Okee dokee!

Yes. A perfect example would be a mayor of one of these big cities proposing they build boxes to house people in and the people saying what a great idea. Ever heard of anything that crazy??

I think it was that woman from Alaska who said people who live in big cities of the lower 48 aren't part of the "real 'Merica".

Got it now?
I would love for you to point out the post that states that "everybody has to live in one of these units". Who cares what anyone else wants if the place is suitable for the one that chooses to rent one?

What else can one expect from people that stick their big noses in other people's sexual gender preferences. Imagine the horror...a gay person renting a 300 square foot dwelling...

He's been correct numerous times but keeps spewing his talking point. Can it be any more obvious he's dishonest and not open to honest discussion?

Yeah, I think its pretty crazy that you're so adamantly against the whole thing when clearly:

1) No one is being forced to choose this housing, and
2) It will never impact your life one way or the other anyways.

You've clearly got a problem with people who live in big cities though. Again, not sure why. You may choose a different living situation than them, but it's kind of sad that you need to validate your choices by p*ssing on other's. Guess that's your version of "reality" though. Good luck with that!

I cannot help but wonder why these people are pissed about this. It has to be feigned. If Bloomberg announced that only luxury apartments were to be built that can only be rented or purchased by Wall Street banksters, are we to assume that that would be acceptable to them? They're all FOS!

LOL. No one is being forced. Just give it time. You people are really blind. Read up on agenda 21 and you will see what plans they have for you. If you fall in line like good little soldiers all the better.
