The Green assault on home ownership
By Duggan Flanakin |January 14th, 2020|Economy

With millennials postponing or wholly ignoring marriage while dealing with heavy student loan debt and greater mobility, home ownership for many Americans under 35 may not be as important a goal as it has been for the entirety of the American experiment. Higher prices even for entry-level homes may also be a contributor.

This shying away from home ownership has created an environment in which those who want to destroy the right to private property can find an audience. Thus it should be no surprise that UCLA urban planning professor Kian Goh, in an op ed in far-left magazine The Nation, wrote that, “If we want to keep cities safe in the face of climate change, we need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership.”

Like wolves sensing weakness, some politicians have also jumped at the opportunity to propose a future without single-family homeowners. Maryland state legislator Vaughn Stewart wants to eliminate zoning regulations that protect single-family neighborhoods and instead mandate construction of tenements that will destroy property values in those “high-opportunity” neighborhoods.

The Great Reset: ‘You’ll own nothing’ — not a home, a car or — a Christmas tree! It’s time to ‘rent’ your Christmas tree – ‘It’s just better for the environment’

Marc Morano comments: "The Great Reset/Green New Deal/Build Back Better are all using COVID and a 'climate emergency', to very clearly lay out your future. No private ownership of homes or cars or even Christmas trees. Air travel will be permitted only when it is 'morally justifiable'. The Great Reset has revealed the future it seeks and you are not free."

World Economic Forum Touts Christmas tree 'rental': Christmas trees are being rented over the festive period in a bid to stop millions from going to landfill.

The trees are taken home in a pot and returned in the same one. The farm then re-plants it until the following year.

Watch 2016 video: World Economic Forum’s utopian Great Reset vision of 2030 – ‘You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy’ – ‘Whatever you want you’ll rent & it’ll be delivered by drone’ – Meat will be ‘an occasional treat’

You won't be able to own a home either!

- "We might not own our own cars. Our current car ownership and usage model is really inefficient and bad for the environment,” Yang said.

Getting rid of zoning is actually a libertarian idea... not one that i'm necessarily in favor of, but our current zoning model encourages car dependency IMO.
