The globalist design for
micro-apartments is being championed by New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
These “studio and one-bedroom apartments” will be no bigger than 275 to 300 sq
ft. These tiny living spaces are smaller than currently allowed by building regulations,
according to a statement by Bloomberg’s office; however the zoning regulations
will be waived in over to construct the first of many compact pack ‘em and
stack ‘em housing model in the city-owned area of Kips Bay.
The intention is to
construct an area in NY that accommodates restricted housing space, eliminates
car use in favour for walking and bicycling and promotes mass transit. Herding
the expanding population into dense areas and smaller living spaces will instill
the new class of poor and obligate their psychological transition toward
accepting the Agenda 21 megacity concept.
According to the
globalists at America 2050, “metropolitan regions will be an interlocking
economic system, shared natural resources and ecosystems, and common
transportation systems link these population centres together.”
Bloomberg stated:
“Developing housing that matches how New Yorkers live today is critical to the
city’s continued growth, future competitiveness and long-term economic
success.”
Bloomberg has announced
this “New Housing Marketplace Plan ” with directives toward financing 165,000
units that are more affordable than anything on the current market. By 2014,
these units are expected to be competing to get New Yorkers out of their large
apartments and single-family houses and into a tiny space to maximize
functionality in a clear move toward creating Agenda 21 megacities out of
existing spaces.
David Bragdon, director of
the Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability asserts that: “New Yorkers
can be better served by adapting the city’s apartment models to allow more
efficient and sustainable homes. Today’s announcement is fulfilment of the
pledge in PlaNYC, the Mayor’s long-term sustainability strategy, to update the
City’s regulations to better accommodate the population and demographics of the
future.”
PLaNYC 2030 is a scheme by
Bloomberg, which was devised in 2007, to “prepare the city for one million more
residents” to create housing in line with Agenda 21 policies in conjunction
with “over 25 City agencies to work toward the vision of a greener, greater New
York.”
The initiative includes
transformation of hundreds of acres of land into “new parkland” and micro-sized
units that are built adjacent to public transit systems. These plans will force
New Yorkers out of their cars and into highly-dense areas where living space is
severely limited in an effort to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions 13% below
2005 levels.”
A request made by the
Department of Housing Preservation and Development states that the program
called adAPT NYC is specifically aimed at the building of smaller homes in
accommodation for the growing population in NY.
Robert K. Steel, deputy
mayor for Economic Development stated: “Under Mayor Bloomberg’s leadership, New
York City continues to be a magnet for talent from around the world and around
the five boroughs, and with this new model for development of affordable
housing, we will help ensure that New Yorkers have more options that meet their
housing needs. This innovative public-private partnership will build on the
Bloomberg Administration’s track record of leveraging private-sector expertise
and resources to develop quality affordable housing.”
As one, two and three
bedroom; as well as single-family homes sky-rocket in price in NY, these small
apartments are being promoted. Seventy-five of the micro-sized units will
include kitchens and bathrooms; however interior design will depend on
affordability and innovative layouts that maximize space.
City planners of the
future hope to have this concept spread across the nation; where young
“urbanites” flock to smaller living spaces that are equal to dormitory-style
living. Lowering prices will attract those on fixed incomes. Officials in
Manhattan, who estimate that 46.3% of households consist of a single person,
are marketing these micro-units for those who spend more time socializing
outside the home.
Similar programs are
slated for San Francisco where developers are currently seeking state approval
for rentals as small as 150 sq ft. These apartments would be the size of a
parking space . Under the guise of addressing the 42% of residents in San
Francisco who live alone, Patrick Kennedy, developer who built the Berkeley
bungalow, states that this maximization of space “meets the needs of that
demographic.”
Scott Wiener, project supervisor,
claims that under proposed legislation developers would be allowed to build
units with just 150 square feet of living space. It would also require a
separate kitchen, bathroom and closet for a total of 220 square feet.
“The tenement problem was
big families in very small (spaces),” Bloomberg said. “We’re not talking about
that. We’re talking about one or two people who want something they can afford,
and they don’t entertain or need big space.”
Bloomberg’s officials
assert that this is not a scheme to warehouse the poor in NY; however what else
could it be?
Kerri
White, housing advocate and director for the Urban Homesteading Assistance
Board , claims that these living conditions are good and that “the general
attitude toward space and how we use space is very different in New York City.
People are used to living in smaller quarters."
