Locals in my hometown demand city council limit size of shopping center (AGENDA 21)

[euphemia]

But the City Council is elected to represent the interests of the people who live there. If the community at large wants to preserve a given way of life, their elected representatives should do what they ask.

...in my experience, the reality is that a lot of people get all worked up about 'the (absolute) right of the owner to use their property as they see fit'...

...until they learn, for example, that nearby landowners TO THEM want to create a stinking dump...create an outdoor heavy-metal concert venue, a prison, methadone treatment facility, halfway house for pedophiles, murderers, etc. ad nauseam...

...some of you sound a little naive...

They operate in the interests of the developers and the leftist central planners. Crony socialist corporatists.

Elected, though.

Elected, though.

To represent the people of that municipality, not absentee developers.

They're elected officials. If the people like what they're doing, they reelect them.

It just goes to show that candidates are not fully vetted. Elected officials forget they are there for a reason, and that they represent the people who elected them.

So big surprise, the elitist county council voted in favor of the Agenda 21 "smart town" construction plan.

No big surprise.

it was likely sold as economically beneficial. (for them in their lifetime anyway)

and some parts of the whole ,(Agenda 21) ,, are actually beneficial or harmless.

those parts are real,,, but are baited hook.

nothing wrong with well thought out development,, it can be economically beneficial.

a lot seems very poorly thought out..

Point of fact.... wide spanse of well traveled highway.. no gas stations in many miles...

small ghost own with,,,,,, old dead pumps out front.

Anyone got ideas.? Does anyone not see an investment opportunity?

anybody with money? and half of a functioning brain.


and how many serious opportunities do I have to offer to members of this forum?

Seriously. and the ghost town is Kent Or. Hwy 97

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_97_in_Oregon

With the exception of Interstate 5, US 97 is the most important north–south highway corridor in the state. It serves two major population centers

on the side of the highway are OLD pumps and and a small abandon store

And now everyone not broke and brain-dead owes me a beer at the very least.

Elected, though.

Allegedly. Black-box voting is firmly installed everywhere now.

Plus, surely you know by now that it's not really an "election" if candidate A and candidate B are bankrolled by the same interests.

I spoke with a city planner a few weeks ago in a casual setting. I don't know if he was lying or not but he said he'd never heard of Agenda 21! I asked if he ever thought about where the plans he's working to implement came from. He said no, just his supervisors directions. I asked where he received the authority to make a "100 year plan" (his words), seeing as the politicians are elected to 2 year terms, and yoke unborn generations to his "100 year plan". His answer? "Don't you like progress??"

Not to mention, no one ever learns about local voting in school. It's probably designed that way.

I doubt anyone knows about local elections for mayor, judge, city council, etc.

 

[Son_of_Liberty90]

Globalists have installed their paid-off lackeys into local positions in metro areas to push all this stuff through, regardless of what the residents think. You should see the Agenda 21 (now Agenda 2030) implementation underway in my city. It's nuts. Condos/apartments going up on every empty square inch of the city. It'll go from a quiet mid sized southern city to looking like a miniature Singapore in only a few years.

eta: It's all cheaply built crap that's being charged an arm and a leg for. Imagine building a condo building out of materials from Lowe's. Yep.

What's frustrating is you can't connect the dots with local reps because their sphere of influence is much smaller. Look at my county council president:

[Son_of_Liberty90]

There's this:

Councilmember Leventhal believes passionately in caring for our environment and living sustainably and has championed many County programs that foster these goals including: Bethesda Green, Montgomery County’s green building legislation and the Clean Energy Rewards Program.

 

[Son_of_Liberty90]

It would really be nice to prove to others that this is being implemented. It's one thing to have the goals listed in a manifesto.

It's quite another to actually have the goals being implemented in an organized manner. I would like to have the evidence to show "Councilmember X is working for Y to implement Agenda 21 in this district."

But skeptics say, "Well, those are just goals. It's not binding and how can you prove that those companies and legislators being directed by the UN?"

Here's the binding evidence:

The rest of linking Councilmember X directly to that is way too much for the average voter to comprehend so trying to explain it is probably pointless. That assumes the Councilmember even understands what it is they're voting on. The $$$$ usually blinds them. It's easy in my city to just point to the massive amounts of development in a very short period of time, the goals of Agenda 21/2030 in the US (stack and pack people into small quarters in cities and eliminate personal transportation) and bring up how everyone knows that politicians are bought off. It doesn't "prove" it but it does plant the seed.
