Burning villages

Kelo  on steroids?

US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive

"Much of the land will be given back to nature. People will enjoy living near a forest or meadow," he said.

I wish I had that picture /span> back, from previous post, but spilt milk now.  Anyway, it's reported by the Times (London) that the Jack Boot of the Obamacy is ready for some more stomping.  “ Dozens of US cities may have entire neighborhoods bulldozed as part of drastic "shrink to survive" proposals being considered by the Obama administration to tackle economic decline. ” Kelo popped into mind because, when this idea was being discussed by the Bilderbergers, it prolly began with "Take Kelo ... ." Of course this isn't Kelo, where gummint assumed the right to take my private property and sell it to you,  but the hubris is there.  No, this is more Vietnam Era "We had to burn the village to save it" think.  There's  some merit in the idea, but the jackboot appears in the form of the federals. . “ The US government is looking at expanding a pioneering scheme in Flint, one of the poorest US cities, which involves razing entire districts and returning the land to nature  ” To quote the London Banker somewhat out of context -- "There is no free market when the government owns the actors and sets the terms of transactions.  There is no village once it has been burned to the ground." A final thought - Baltimore is one of the cities on the bulldozable list.  Hmmm.  Would that be a Bob Irsay style bulldozing -- in the middle of the night?  Where democrats and apparatchiks suffer most?  Hmmm.
