Poor people don't have the right to own property now - why have you not objected to that all these years?

I don't want you to wast as much time reading on this official site as I have but you could just take a peek at who the member governments in the US are and maybe you will take a chance, although I doubt it.

ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability : Homepage
Lol, its over man oh my goodness they have an office in Oakland, CA. They use words like sustainability and climate change, and local governments. Oh my goodness the raw power, they are a taking over. It is all over now, they have a website.

Again, agenda 21 is irrelevant.

Agenda 21 is a big con game.

Let me suggest that you go to this link and learn something about Agenda 21 since you don't know anything about it. This link is to the official Agenda 21 website and was pretty easy for me to find.

DSD :: Resources - Publications - Core Publications
You've already linked that to me, and I asked you how do we jump from local communities and states voluntary adopting non-binding UN Agenda 21 to us losing our sovereignty. That still hasn't been demonstrated or explained to me.

I have told you that I would get you the official website of Agenda 21 and have just done so, but in case you miss it maybe I should do it again.

You haven't seen me say anything about Agenda 21? LOLZ. Really? I think what you mean is you haven't seen me agreeing with you on your delusions.

Am I supposed to be shocked or something by the official page? Do you think this is the first time I've seen it?

I bet you will be amazed if you look at the local governments that belong to ICLEI in the United States. Over 2000 of them, in toto. Many cities are getting out of it when people find out what it is. Take a peek at this link and look at the members in the US.

Again.... you've already told me all this and I've already responded. Am I supposed to be shocked at the amount of cities that voluntarily contacted the ICLEI and went through the membership process? All the while being governed by American officials.

Global organizations promoting ideas to the globe is..... Scary......... What's worse we're listening. We should just stop all outside ideas from flowing into the US!

Do you ever read news sources that don't agree with your worldviews? And how often?

This is the ultimate fear of so called agenda 21 that many American officials presented with these ideas will like them and seek to explain to voters, businesses, and their local communities why these ideas are good.

Americans will then accept/endorse/agree with/welcome some of these ideas.

The opponents are fearful of democracy. This is the great fear of agenda 21. That and the con game of separating many Americans from their money.

Those are all good points since Agenda 21 won't be able to solve those problems since it won't have the power or the coordination to do so.

Encourage brownfield development
Discourage sprawl through impact, facility, mitigation, and permit fees

So cities will try to discourage sprawl and preserve green spaces and build denser development closer in to city centers... Been going on in most forward looking cities around the world for some time now.

Holy s**t, they want to plant trees? What kind of crazy Orwellian nightmare is that?

They want to drive up the price of urban land to unsustainable levels and make housing unaffordable, like in Portland where buildable urban land goes for $500K an acre.

Depends on how you do it , if you address the population growth and housing issues you should be able to keep the rent down. The New England towns and cities have addressed this thus you'll find rents in most cities and towns affordable. The Average Rent in New England is 700$ for a 1 bedroom apartment. This has not been the case with the DC area or NYC region it has been left unchecked and averages are closer to 1500$. Housing is also more then it should as opposed to New England.
