GrokTV: Rochester City Council Public input on “Sustainable Communities Initiative”- Tom Flaherty

Another of the folks that spoke out against the Federal Govt’s move to further do social engineering via the Sustainable Communities Initiative / Granite State Future Plan was Tom Flaherty.  He stressed that the key entity is HUD – it gets the final say via operating through the 9 Regional Planning Commissions under contract.  One statement from them:

“Given that our State’s population  can fit within the boundaries of many of the nation’s cities, we are presented with the unique opportunity to create a truly integrated approach to planning not just in one city or region but across the State as a whole.”

Who the hell do they think they are – to view citizens as mere lab rats?  So, it is the unelected and unaccountable Planners that get to determine how our State is going to look like?  How many citizens understand this?  And the chutzpah – it seems that Planners are thinking “look at what we can do!” without never thinking “er, maybe Citizens are happy in what they are doing now?”  I guess not – Utopians never do…
