Agenda 21 Bill just passed in Senate:
http://www.apa-ma.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Senate_Press_Release_S-2311_06-09-2016.pdf

It's going to the House of Representatives. Please realize Agenda 21 now takes the form of "Planning Agencies". You can bet that you have a Planning Agency for your district:
http://www.apa-ma.org/

These Planning Agencies are nation-wide, and they live in every state, and district, and town. It is headed by an overarching Agenda 21 organization called the American Planning Association: https://www.planning.org/

If you look on the wikipedia page for Agenda 21 and search on American Planning Association, there you see it's an integral part of their plan. Check out your district's planning association, search on your town. You bet they have plans and a vision for reworking your town to suit their needs!

If I'm not mistaken these people were going around NH small towns and meeting with their zoning boards to try and get them to adopt their idea of economic and social justice system. A lot of citizens protested local town meetings if they were involved.

To clarify the OP, this passed in the Massachusetts state senate. Here's my favorite part;

“This bill represents an historic accomplishment, modernizing our state land use laws for the first
time in 40 years,”

Yes this did pass in MA senate. But it is coming for you every state, fight it when they come to your town zoning meetings or you lose control of your property.

Oh, I know all about this treachery. I derive a certain morose pleasure in reading their propaganda with an enlightened mind as to what they really mean when they say certain things.

Basically they're bills to increase population density because cities.

You're starting to see it now in urban areas. The whole pitch is wonderfully subversive as well. "Eat, Work, and Live" all in one place. Basically never leave your 5 acre micro colony. Of course, you're living, working, and eating with 1500 other people in a 30 story building. Gotta free up all that land, and compact people into where the jobs are, so it can be better utilized by the "planners".

I think what Bob P is saying is that urban areas vote for free shit.

You're moving to the whole SciFi mega cities surrounded by farm land concept with this.

This is already a reality in NYC. They are building a complex that is a "Dorm for Adults". I've seen several articles on how wonderful it is to live in such a facility....

Urban residents are much more dependent on infrastructure. You can't be self sufficient if you live in an apartment in the middle of a city. 'Planners' like that because you're not spoiling their plans with your own ideas. Their argument is it reduces energy usage as electricity and gas are easier to supply to concentrated areas - less lost to transmission, less pollution caused by cars driving to and from work, ability for public transport etc. what they don't focus on is that these people are totally dependent on the city government for all utilities including the ability to get around. Further their ability to range further from home to changes jobs is reduced so corporations in that city have a sort of captive work force. You have the illusion of choice but greatly reduced actuality of choice. Obama made a speech early on in his career about discouraging the 'trap' of homeownership. It kinda cruised under the radar but it was possibly the scariest of everything that came out of his mouth. The entire Left culture war is predicated on urbanality. It's no surprise the states who are blues-est are the most densely populated.
