Recently, a long-forgotten term, "LYSENKOISM" was
used in a scientific journal.
It caused me to reflect on how Houston's leaders seem to have
been so deeply influenced by the Socialist "Smart Growth"
advocates, reinforced by the Leftist-biased media, and to where
they have adopted a pro-urban rail lemming behavior. All
to the detriment of the taxpayers.
"Smart Growth" is merely where the government just
stops allowing single-family home development, and forces citizens
to occupy apartments near a tram. The tram is not a "transit
option." METRO already has announced that they will be forcing
many bus riders onto the rail seemingly as a ploy to boost
the head count so as to boast "acceptance" by Houstonians.
Eventually, only the Limousine Liberals and the Plutocracy will
be allowed cars in the city.
This is typical for Socialist European cities or New York City,
but we are in Houston. They want Houston to be more like Leningrad,
Paris or New York City. Some of them would replicate Ho Chi Min
City if they could.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat the failures and
suffer preventable calamities.
