(I first read it in Townhall.) Then I noticed you have that particular section as part of your heading. I’ll quote it again. Hopefully this is ok. “…the egalitarians have appropriated the anti-zoning argument. They now malign single-family neighborhoods in favor of promoting density, which is—wouldn’t you know it?—more expensive and thus more lucrative. Dense living also jibes with the progressive climate agenda to corral as many people as possible into rent-a-bed, pod-living arrangements.”. It seems this is a bit what’s going on in SE Virginia where I am. I’ve wondered a while now, looking at all these cookie cutter houses and apartments and townhomes, who is going to live in these dwellings? Are there that many coming here? SE Va has always been a draw, but I would think it has been less so; it’s congested and we’re choked with traffic. I can’t forget what I’ve learned in Genesis. Man, with the leading of Cain, rebelled against God, and built cities. “…he builded a city…” (Gen. 4:17). And then Nimrod continued that rebellion in Babel, “…let us build a city…” (11:4). Nearly two years ago at a park near the Chesapeake Bay, I was looking at an instrument put on a lamp post. The monitor asked me if I needed help. I said I was just looking at this thing, wondering. I was told, “…it’s sampling the ozone, if you care.” The person didn’t know me, and it seemed the individual thought I could care less about air quality, etc. Something else. Oh, NASA was doing the testing.
