Commentary: The Central Importance of Infrastructure

After I’d chastised him repeatedly for being the spoiler in the November 2020 battle between Republican David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate, Shane Hazel invited me to debate him on his podcast. 

During our lengthy discussion, Hazel demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, and we found ourselves in agreement on many if not most of the critical issues, starting with the First and Second Amendments. One topic I wish we could have spent more time discussing was the issue of infrastructure. As it was, I got nowhere with Hazel on that question.

  1. One small part: Single-family homes have been targeted by Progressives since at least the early part of the 20rh century. Progressivism started in the crowded cities of the Northeast. People in big "housing projects" are controllable and controlled. Urban New Deal programs led to the destruction of single-family homes and the construction of "housing projects," into which were jammed thousands of people, usually poor and black. Those ideas have been the backbone of Progressivism since the beginnings. Progressives are against suburbs for the same reason -- Put more of "my voters" in controllable places. Just look at buildings in the former Soviet Union based on the Stalin School of Architecture.

    1. My dumb-ass socialist city council just voted to allow multi-family homes in all neighborhoods, funded, of course, by the apartment building owners and builders. So now, already, in formerly single-family owned homes, there are plans to demolish and build multi-story apartment buildings.

  2. The projects in Chicago are one good example of what happens when you put a lot of people in a small vertical space.
