Agenda 21… Stuffing the Poor Into "Pack ‘Em and Stack ‘Em" Housing

The globalist design for micro-apartments is being championed by New
York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg. These “studio and one-bedroom
apartments” will be no bigger than 275 to 300 sq ft. ~ Susanne Posel – Videos

These tiny living spaces are smaller than currently allowed by building regulations, according to a statement
by Bloomberg’s office; however the zoning regulations will be waived in
over to construct the first of many compact pack ‘em and stack ‘em
housing model in the city-owned area of Kips Bay.

The intention is to construct an area in NY that accommodates
restricted housing space, eliminates car use in favor for walking and
bicycling and promotes mass transit. Herding the expanding population
into dense areas will smaller living spaces will instill the new class
of poor and obligate their psychological transition toward accepting the
Agenda 21 megacity concept.

According to the globalists at America 2050,
“metropolitan regions will be an interlocking economic system, shared
natural resources and ecosystems, and common transportation systems link
these population centers together.”

Bloomberg stated: “Developing housing that matches how New Yorkers
live today is critical to the city’s continued growth, future
competitiveness and long-term economic success.”

Bloomberg has announced this “ New Housing Marketplace Plan
with directives toward financing 165,000 units that are more affordable
than anything on the current market.

By 2014, these units are expected
to be competing to get New Yorkers out of their large apartments and
single-family houses and into a tiny space to maximize functionality in a
clear move toward creating Agenda 21 megacities out of existing spaces.

David Bragdon, director of the Office of Long-Term Planning and
Sustainability asserts that:

“New Yorkers can be better served by
adapting the city’s apartment models to allow more efficient and
sustainable homes. Today’s announcement is fulfillment of the pledge in
PlaNYC, the Mayor’s long-term sustainability strategy, to update the
City’s regulations to better accommodate the population and demographics
of the future.”

PLaNYC 2030
is a scheme by Bloomberg, which was devised in 2007, to “prepare the
city for one million more residents” to create housing in line with
Agenda 21 policies in conjunction with “over 25 City agencies to work
toward the vision of a greener, greater New York.”

The initiative
includes transformation of hundreds of acres of land into “new
parkland” and micro-sized units that are built adjacent to public
transit systems. These plans will force New Yorkers out of their cars
and into highly-dense areas where living space is severely limited in an
effort to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions 13% below 2005 levels.”

A request made by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development states that the program called adAPT NYC is specifically aimed at the building of smaller homes in accommodation for the growing population in NY.

Robert K. Steel, deputy mayor for Economic Development stated:

“Under
Mayor Bloomberg’s leadership, New York City continues to be a magnet
for talent from around the world and around the five boroughs, and with
this new model for development of affordable housing, we will help
ensure that New Yorkers have more options that meet their housing needs.
This innovative public-private partnership will build on the Bloomberg
Administration’s track record of leveraging private-sector expertise and
resources to develop quality affordable housing.”

As one, two and three bedroom; as well as single-family homes
sky-rocket in price in NY, these small apartments are being promoted.
Seventy-five of the micro-sized units will include kitchens and
bathrooms; however interior design will depend on affordability and
innovative layouts that maximize space.

City planners of the future hope to have this concept spread across
the nation; where young “urbanites” flock to smaller living spaces that
are equal to dormitory-style living. Lowering prices will attract those
on fixed incomes.

Officials in Manhattan, who estimate that 46.3% of
households consist of a single person, are marketing these micro-units
for those who spend more time socializing outside the home.

Similar programs are slated for San Francisco where developers are
currently seeking state approval for rentals as small as 150 sq ft.
These apartments would be the size of a parking space .

Under the guise of addressing the 42% of residents in San Francisco who
live alone, Patrick Kennedy, developer who built the Berkeley bungalow,
states that this maximization of space “meets the needs of that
demographic.”

Scott Wiener, project supervisor, claims that under proposed
legislation developers would be allowed to build units with just 150
square feet of living space. It would also require a separate kitchen,
bathroom and closet for a total of 220 square feet.

“The tenement problem was big families in very small (spaces),”
Bloomberg said. “We’re not talking about that. We’re talking about one
or two people who want something they can afford, and they don’t
entertain or need big space.”

Bloomberg’s officials assert that this is not a scheme to warehouse the poor in NY; however what else could it be?

Kerri White, housing advocate and director for the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board ,
claims that these living conditions are good and that “the general
attitude toward space and how we use space is very different in New York
City. People are used to living in smaller quarters.”
