It is no coincidence that this is being pushed by our Democrat president from Kenya, a country with twice the population density of the US and 1/20 the per capita GDP. Democrats' only goal is to create themselves permanent government jobs by herding Americans into giant, crime-ridden mega-cities in the name of equal-opportunity poverty.
Any American who accedes to this is a traitor to both his country and the environment.
Actually, it has a lot of its roots in the authors of the books I cited above. But don't let that get in the way of the way you view the world.
