Waynesville Planning Department

[Forum Member]

The Waynesville Planning Department seems to have a political agenda. The Planning Department is stacking the deck with the Planning Board. The Planning Department is stacking the deck with the town attorney role. And the Planning Department is stacking the deck in what projects, issues, and ordinances proposed to the Aldermen and how. The Planning Department should answer to and serve the people. It appears the Planning Department is manipulating the Aldermen and attempting to influence the citizens. It may be time for the citizens to consider electing representatives that will put the Planning Department in their place: servant to the people.

When we hear the words, "Smart Growth" and "Infill not Urban Sprawl" we need to understand what they actually mean. All across America, town planners are implementing smartgrowthamerica.org in their Comprehensive Plans. Read this article about resetting our single family homes into apartment and condo living, so we can walk, ride busses and bicycles and get rid of automobiles. The forcasted future is everyone will be living equally in apartments and condos and the government will own us. Our Town Planner, Elizabeth Teague, changed our Comprehensive Plan in the middle of COVID 2020, to include smartgrowthamerica.org.

When you hear "affordable housing", don't be fooled. There are plenty of ways of making housing in Waynesville affordable. Dropping mandatory flood insurance for almost the entire Hazelwood area would reduce mortgages and rents by 20%. It's not "affordable housing" that they want. It's an increased population of low-income voters and people who need non-profit organizations that is the goal of "affordable housing". So when you see all the low-income "affordable housing" going up, consider who it was that encouraged it. HINT: It's the same people who are also enabling and promoting an environment that "needs" low barrier shelters. It's the same people who invite and cause a homeless problem. It's the same people who believe harm reduction (free needles) is good for our community. More voters need to vote "smarter growth than that crap".

President Eisenhower's farewell address Jan. 17, 1961:

...The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society...

This clearly tells of a strategy. A strategy that government itself will fund self-serving research. And it's the role of the elected person to push back on government acting in that self-serving way.

This is the Waynesville Planning Department sponsoring and creating a self-serving tale that "we need affordable housing". The self-serving government-sponsored report is then used to drive a narrative with the local papers and influence the elected people. When in reality none of our voters want new affordable housing projects. (And the new voter population that would inhabit those new low income housing.)
