Counter myths with facts!

Where do our rulers want us to live? "Affordable and high density housing." "Compact mixed-use development." "The Built Environment." Here is a blog post urging us to fight back.

The environmental whackos "tsk, tsk" at people who like to live in the suburbs, or, gasp, even further out into rural areas. You would be amazed at how much money people living in these areas spend on feeding birds, growing vegetables and flowers, building open space parks, feeding chickens and other livestock, fishing, and hiking trails, just to mention a few amenities not easily available to people living in urban areas.

I sure ran into this when building my house. Could not get the plan we wanted approved and I live in what is considered rural Alabama. Yes even there. Kinda makes you pine for the early days of our country when you just did what you wanted and moved west if the gov't got involved.
