About Us
America 2050 is guided by the National Committee for America 2050, a coalition of regional planners, scholars, and policy-makers to develop a framework for the nation's future growth that considers trends such as:
Rapid population growth and demographic change
Global climate change
The rise in foreign trade
Sprawling and inefficient land use patterns
Uneven and inequitable growth within and between regions
Infrastructure systems that are reaching capacity
The emergence of megaregions
Huh? Inequitable growth between regions?
Are they suggesting it's wrong for Texas and the South to grow?
I ask because it looks like they are.....just look at the list of supporting organizations.... full of Think Tanks from the Northeast.
America 2050 is supported by:
The Rockefeller Foundation = New York
The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation = New York
The Surdna Foundation = New York
The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy = Massachusetts
The J.M. Kaplan Fund = New York
AECOM = California
Park Foundation = New York
The William Penn Foundation = Pennsylvania
STV Group, Inc. = New York & Pennsylvania
The Ford Foundation = New York
Isn't it amazing how following the money.... you can find their agenda.... and it isn't Rail for America.... it's Rail for mostly New York ---- at the rapidly growing South's and West's expense......
JMHO!
