LPRI Opposes RhodeMap RI
RhodeMap RI (RMRI) is touted as an economic development plan, sponsored by the RI Division of Planning and funded by the federal government. But in reality, RMRI is a grand experiment in extreme environmentalism and collectivist social engineering whose objectives include income redistribution, minimizing the authority of local governments, income-based housing quotas, an expansion of eminent domain at the expense of property rights, and increased government influence over many areas of our lives. It is a step in the direction of failed Soviet Union policies, which eliminated most private property and forced the entire population into high-density areas where they could be more easily monitored. RMRI is rooted in United Nations Agenda 21, which the UN euphemistically refers to as a “smart growth” initiative.
