Well I can just watch Fox News viewers' brain cells dying as they watch this pure 100% high octane garbage. Thanks for the laugh with this video clip. So basically this idiot is wanting the country to move in "stupid growth."

What he hasn't mentioned once is the expanding suburbs eats up what? Yep, the rural land, the larger the suburbs get, the more we lose rural land. So he is advocating the destruction of the rural land.

I say it is time for us city people and rural people need to join forces and stop the expansions of the suburbs from destroying more of our country's rural land.


Also, anyone that knows anything about urban planning can tell you that there is a right way to build the suburbs and a wrong way, currently we have been on the wrong path for suburban development and there is nothing wrong with wanting to change how this country's suburbs function.

But if you are posting this video as a way to say, "see, Obama is trying to force us into the cities." Then you didn't read anything I typed before this because only an idiot would think that any president is trying to turn all of the US into a collection of Manhattans.

Well that is because you are a sucker. I remember growing up in Virginia Beach when much of the city was farm land with a collection of suburban neighborhoods throughout. Over time, I watched farm land after farm land disappear until the city became nothing but a sprawling suburban city with no where to go and traffic congested streets that would take you 30 minutes or more just to drive a few miles.

Looking at my city I grew up in, if they would of done smart growth, it could of been a city of walkable communities that was connected by rail and highway making it easy to get around the city, all while preserving the farm lands of the city. It would be a much better place today if that had happened.

Okay, if nobody else will do it ... I'll nominate this discussion as the silliest of the day.

Discredit what? That the man just spoon fed you garbage and you ate it up? No one is forcing you to move to the suburbs, but I will be damned if I am gonna let the idiots in the suburbs consume any more of our country's farm land.
