Obama and his criminal organization spoon feeds you garbage every day and you lap it up and ask for seconds, so I'd be careful what you say.

Discredit what?

He didn't have anything concrete to talk about. He just blathered on with some evidence-free nonsense about making suburbs subsidize cities.

He's also written similar evidence-free nonsense, littered with references to "leftists" and Rev. Wright. He's a blowhard who gets paid to work at a right wing propaganda tank and spout nonsense that will outrage the terminally stupid.

What, exactly, is this problem with giving priority to projects in places where people actually live? Who is proposing forcing people into the cities? Oh right, no one, it's just a bunch of BS he made up.

Suburban sprawl is a pain in the a** for sure!!!! Perhaps the big cities could do better to keep people from moving out of them, and then there wouldn't be sprawl.

It's fun watching unabashed hypocrites calling others "sheeple" for having the audacity to consider something contrary to their brand of propaganda. The thing about posting anything from FOX, it instantly goes into the "total garbage" box... even if it's the true.

Well when you get the chance to actually watch the video, you will realize the garbage you are trying to support.

There are cities that have been successful with this, Portland, Oregon is the poster city for smart growth, protecting farm land, controlled sprawl growth, and inner city development. I always say the city isn't huge, but they use every bit of it, now if only more cities would follow in Portland's footsteps, but to do that would require massive limitations on suburban development and a reduction of how far out they can expand.

well, we were warned what Obama would do, many times over....I didn't believe it at that time either, but the proof is in the pudding...
I watched a man on TV this morning, talking about moving out of the city due to so many schools closing....why? Because entitlements in our politics take first dibs...they foolishly spend our money...never ever thought it would get this bad, boy was I in denial...and he's got how many more years?

And there's always a price to pay for it.
Smart cities is where those with money live..mostly the NIMBY crowd.

COL in Portland is 116 out of 100.

successful or not, on one wants to be told where they can live...I was born and raised in a small farm town, and hated what happened to it, but you cannot blame people for moving out and wanting a better life for their children.....not to mention all the New Yorkers who moved into the Poconos, b/c it was cheaper....
