Voters Must Fight Dems’ New War on Small-Town America

Across the U.S., Democrats are waging war to crush a lifestyle they abhor. Call it small-town America: single-family neighborhoods, quiet streets, town centers stamped with their own historic character, and almost no signs of the vagrancy and homeless encampments that plague cities.

Democrats want you to have none of this. If you’ve worked for years to save up for a home in one of these havens, forget about it.

The Democratic Party is using brute legal force to remake towns using a cookie-cutter formula that forces each to have the same proportion of houses and apartments, the same mix of low-, middle- and upper-income residents, and the same reliance on public transit, all controlled by state politicians.

Any town that resists gets shamed as “segregated” — though this isn’t about race — and “snobby.”

On Saturday, the Connecticut legislature passed a bill, H.B. 5002, which should be called the Destroy Connecticut Towns Act. It’s headed to Gov. Ned Lamont’s desk for signature. The new law dictates how many low-income and moderate-income apartments each Connecticut town must provide, and mandates that towns also foot the bill for the schools, parks, public transportation and other services low-income residents will need. Local taxes will soar.

The bill explicitly says its purpose is to ensure “economic diversity” in each town. This is about social engineering, not remedying housing shortages. Read the rest at patriotpost.us.

  • As usual, the DemocRat-Communist Party is out of control. Those dirtbags love using our tax dollars to DESTROY America. If we ENDED VOTER FRAUD, the DRat Party would shrink to about 10% of the popular vote.
