Here in the Twin Cities, a handful of unelected bureaucrats are gearing up to impose their vision of the ideal society on the nearly three million residents of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro region. According to the urban planners on the city's Metropolitan Council, far too many people live in single family homes, have neighbors with similar incomes and skin color, and contribute to climate change by driving to work. They intend to change all that with a 30-year master plan called "Thrive MSP 2040."

Thrive MSP 2040 is part of a nationwide movement called "regionalism." Regional planning of infrastructure is important, of course. But regionalism, as an ideology, is about shifting power away from local elected officials and re-engineering society on behalf of "equity" and "sustainability." According to regionalist guru David Rusk, author of the book "Cities Without Suburbs," federal programs that promote regionalism should strive to produce "racially and economically integrated and environmentally sustainable regions."


While minority residents have been streaming into the Twin Cities' suburbs for the past 15 years, the Met Council wants to make sure there is a proper race-and-income mix in each.

I’d love to hear what your vision is for MSP.

Democrats and the left are flat out telling you that they intend to 'darken' up the white suburbs with affordable housing.


They've been using Section 8 housing to racially diversify city neighborhoods and small towns for years. They now have the suburbs in their sites.


They also created laws in many places to include a certain percentage of 'affordable' housing in any new housing developments.


It's all good as long as it isn't next door to them ...


It's no secret.

The implication is that places can be/are "too white" - ergo, white people are bad, and places that are "too white" are horrible places.


That's about as Hitler-like as you can get. Can you imagine someone saying a place is "too black" or "too Mexican" or "too Asian"?


Nope. And it isn't right in any way when they say a place is "too white". Normal people know this; decent people know this. But we allow this genocidal rhetoric and behavior by people that aren't elected (Met Council) to go on unchecked.


As always, I like to point out that our horrible Winter weather will always be our wild card. Most people - most minorities and LOTS of whites - just don't like living in the Winter in MN. So that will always be the curveball in this equation, down the road. So we really don't know how their sick vision will play out.

Not this:

The Met Council is our regional government, but its 17 unelected members never have to face the voters. Gov. Mark Dayton appointed them all, and they serve at his pleasure.

The Council was founded in the mid-1960s to plan for efficient delivery of regional services — in essence, to make sure that roads and sewer lines meet up. Mission creep has been escalating for some time, but under Dayton, the overreach has reached a crisis point.

The Thrive plan is a power grab that will impose intrusive, top-down controls on 186 municipalities, neutering the power of local elected officials. The plan — wrapped in vague and noble-sounding goals — imposes a host of new, ideologically driven criteria for municipal development that will give the Council the raw power, unchecked by elected representatives, to dramatically remake our region.

You seem to be assuming that all non-whites are poor and all whites are rich. That isn’t exactly how it works. Meanwhile there has been a growing shortage of affordable housing. I’m not exactly advocating for the housing market to be heavily regulated by the government. At the same time I see increasing the supply of affordable housing in the Twin Cities as a good thing as it helps meet the growing demand.

Maybe we should stop importing tens of thousands of people who need "affordable housing" from places like Somalia or Liberia if we don't have enough of it for our own needy citizens. What a novel idea.

You seem to be uneducated about what demographic uses Section 8 the most.

According to government reporting white people use 78% of available public housing in the state of Minnesota. Blacks use 12% and Hispanic/Latinos use 4%, Asians 4% and Native Americans 3%.

If that is true (and I don't believe for half a second that this statement is accurate - your link doesn't work, but I will try to Google myself and see what I can find), then why does the Met Council make it about race?
