Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC)

Intro:

ARC is an appointed board created by the state to pass out federal grants that are earmarked for UN Agenda 21 implementation. ARC board members, staff and camp followers spent millions promoting the 2012 T-SPLOST, an expensive, useless list of projects proposed to end Atlanta gridlock. It did not of that and failed with a NO vote of 66%.

 

Now these geniuses have regrouped and are heading for another windmill to squander Georgia’s federal bribe money. This group is our Solyndra scandal.

The ARC has four areas that they consider to be their mission:

 

Water, about which they can do nothing more than tell us to not use any;

Transportation, which starts with your money and goes to transit system that serve the mega-developments the ARC leaders want to build;

Air Quality, which they believe is the same thing as transportation and means getting rid of privately owned cars;

Managing the growing seniors population.

 

ARC is the officially recognized conduit for federal programs in the Metro Atlanta area. That means they support and implement federal programs. Local governments want the federal money and dance to their tune to get it. Many millions of dollars have been poured into Transit Oriented Development plans, Livable Centers Initiative plans, etc. A substantial consulting industry has grown up to do the plans and get the money. That's where the terms "Live, work, play", "Bike-ped friendly", and "walkability" come from. It's all about high density living and development and replacing private cars with public transportation. Save the planet by keeping the humans in small pens. See Atlantic Station in Atlanta, except that it hasn't worked as planned.

 

None of this is driven by demand, it's all coming from the top down from the community of Urban Planners. Go watch the video Sprawlanta <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoVXoB6x3vM>

on Youtube or Vimeo. The message is that everyone who chose to live in suburbia made a colossal mistake.

 

Many elected officials at all levels here this message again and again and buy it.

 

ARC gives a lot of attention to our Senior community and now they're creating an advisory committee to accommodate the millennials (young adults searching for social opportunities in the downtown bars). Might it be possible to get them to create an advisory committee to represent the interests of those who simply want to enjoy life in their homes with their families? Surely Lee isn't going to do it, nor are the millennials.

By the way, if the 80 million generation Y kids "prefer to live within intown neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, access to public transit, restaurants and shopping", how have they become such informed advocates of regional transit systems? As with most of the ARC polls, the people who advocate transit systems are very uninformed and unlikely to regularly utilize the systems. Yet, these are the experts ARC wants to listen to. Pass a law to let those who want regional transit systems pay to build them and forever subsidize them. Then we'll see how many really want them.

From ABC: "Millennials, also known as Generation Y, will soon have an even greater say about how Atlanta deals with its most important regional issues such as transportation and development.

Atlanta leaders want Millennials to have greater say about regional issues.

If you know any brain-dead seniors or millennials, you can refer them to ARC to put on their “advisory committees”. All the better if they are avowed communists, because they will be implementing the new world order at your expense.
