CHOP was a real alternative to our local power structure across the country, and provided a communal form of living that wasn't dependent on financial speculation or private zoning laws.
Now Capitol Hill will be brought back into the fold so big companies can reinvest and take governance away from the actual residents.
I hope you guys are happy, its is all downhill from here.
that sounds almost like a religious cult like the Amish or Mormon
Nah! It's the power of education. The Democrats control education in this country.
Let's take a look.
Department of Education: Operates under the Donald Trump cabinet.
Secretary of Education: Betsy DeVos (R), and a Trump appointee
So, Republicans control education.
This seems to be a pattern with Republicans. They vote their people in power, and things go to hell, and then they go on about how everything is someone else's fault.
What's the point of having them in control if you are going to complain no matter what? At least when Obama was president, you could actually say it was his fault since he was in fact the president, but the blame shifting makes zero sense when your own guy is in charge.

Wrong again.
The liberals and their propaganda have done a marvelous job of ruining the schools over the past few decades.

It would have taken the concept of collective labor and producer guilds to the mainstream, not just a fringe religious outfit.
Its about turning america into a producer economy rather than a consumer economy, and it would be different if it were wide spread.
Any such movement isolated is doomed to become cult like, CHOP was trying to provide a mainstream alternative by targeting the heart of Seattle. Sadly it failed.
Indeed, they need water and other services, but since it is their community they need to provide for it as opposed to just taking it from others. They might have to collect taxes so they can pay for the services. Or maybe they can move to the mountains and drink free from the creeks.
where did the Porta-Johns come from? Donations, the city, some CHOP organizer footed the bill and charged by the usage with zero profit?
And then there are neighborhoods with community water/sewer and even individual homeowners with private well/septic.
Is there a municipal water (supply and waste) that operates at a real profit (above capex needs and reserves)? Are there lots of municipal systems run by private companies for profit?

Trump has been a POTUS under 4 years.
I highly doubt these dumbass young grown-ass CHAZ/CHOPpers grew up and ate lead paint (as one poster put it) under Trump. They are more likely the result of Obama's era.
