VERTICAL SPRAWL IN ELNOKA

3/28/2011

0 Comments

 
Last year, Rosa Koire coined the term 'Vertical Sprawl' for the new urbanist high density development being touted as the solution for a non-existent problem of too many homes in the suburbs.  Unless the problem is that not enough tax revenue is being siphoned off to crony-developers who expect to get big subsidies from Redevelopment Agencies.  Locals like Laura Hall and Lois Fisher have made a business out of redesigning city centers and selling form-based zoning codes (a one-size-fits-all model) to brainwashed city officials all over the nation.  Now that this top heavy style of bloated government/public partnerships is failing some 'environmental crony groups' like LIEE, Sonoma County Conservation Action, and Greenbelt Alliance are whining that there might not be enough money for them in the future. 
They're counting on your ignorance and compliance to swallow the empty so-called green rhetoric that they're pushing.
High density urban development like the 4 story Moore Building that sits nearly empty on Healdsburg Avenue and 10th in downtown Santa Rosa.  The family that built that with their savings lost everything.  Crony developers and the groups they fund, like Sonoma County Conservation Action, along with the fake greens, the train proponents, are in it to influence politicians, get contracts, get subsidies, and manipulate regulations.
Who gets hurt?
You.
Elnoka is a perfect example.  The high density housing project to be built against the wishes of the neighboring low density senior development.  Where is it?  Out in the boonies.  No need for high density there, but the developer wants it and has the rhetoric to get the green power trippers on his side. 
Green: the color of money. 

It's for your own good---it's Communitarianism and UN AGENDA 21.
