Envision Utah The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing & Secret Government In Utah - Brookings Institute

And You Thought You Had A Say In What Happens In Utah?  But, You Are Just Endorsing A Pre-Planned Agenda.

"Utah may be the last place that comes to mind when one thinks about national innovation and leadership in regional planning. As a highly conservative state, Utah boasts a staunch property‐rights faction, along with a true western disdain for all things related to government control. With its strident skepticism of global climate change, and jealous regard for local control of all land use decisions, it would be surprising if Utah surpassed more liberal locales in its progress on regional cooperation and its adoption of quality growth ideas.1 And yet that is what has happened". ~ Brookings Institution UNLV Chapter

As to footnote #1... [1 In an example of how terminology can be critical, in Utah we do not use the term “smart growth,” as that is understood as planner‐speak for limited population growth and/or strong government coercion].

 

Brookings continues, "Utah has become an unlikely leader in regional planning through a voluntary partnership of key leaders, agencies, local government, and the general public. Given that regional planning efforts around the nation have generally evoked strong reactions from residents concerned about losing local control, the success of Envision Utah—the organization that emerged as a key driver of regional planning in Utah—in building a consensus around regional growth management holds lessons for other regions.

Envision Utah adopted several strategies that have distinguished Utah’s regional planning efforts from other regions and given rise to what can be called the “Utah model” of collaborative planning. Envision Utah found success by not only tapping into people’s shared values and aspirations, but also because of its significant public engagement, use of convincing, unbiased data to demonstrate the need to work regionally, and ability to garner broad buy‐in from important stakeholders in the community.

As more is learned from Envision Utah’s success in regional coordination, a number of takeaways appear relevant for other regions:

 Pay attention to the sustainability and capacity of the leading organization  Arm the public with clear data and analysis, skillfully marketed
 Package all proposals and principles to appeal to the values of the community

 Spend time initiating and maintaining the right political setup".  

In other words, market your plan with flashy propaganda, define the "values" of any particular community although they may not be theirs they only responded to your survey, use "leaders", including political/religious leaders who outwardly promote the sustainable agenda and, control the narrative.

Salt Lake City received a $5 million Sustainable Communities Regional Planning grant to create a Regional Housing Plan that will integrate housing recommendations with regional transportation plans. See portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/states/utah/news/HUDNo.2010‐10‐15. The award recognized the long‐term regional partnership comprised of local governments, MPOs, transit authority, the University of Utah, private enterprise, and Envision Utah itself. The team of individuals that had been working together and teaching each other cooperatively for many years was able to mobilize quickly to respond effectively to the highly competitive grant process. On a recent visit, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan recognized the unusual longevity of the loose coalition, saying: “Salt Lake City has not only been a leader, it’s also been a model for the entire nation with smart planning.” See Lee Davidson, “Housing Secretary Praises Utah Growth Vision,” ~ Salt Lake Tribune, June 2, 2011

Other insightful footnotes include:

9 The Cooperative County Plan is a multi‐year project designed to strengthen inter‐county relationships by linking regional planning efforts such as transportation corridors, utilities easements, and data collection. For more information see Salt Lake County Cooperative Plan, gis.rbf.com/slco/.

10 According to a study by Arthur Nelson and Matt Miller of the Metropolitan Research Center at the University of Utah, the total acreage of the half‐mile buffers surrounding pre‐2010 Trax Stations is 9148 acres, which is 1.8% of the 516,428 acres in Salt Lake County. The total household growth in that area was 3420 households, which is 7.00% of the total household growth of 48,488 in Salt Lake County. The half mile 'buffer' near TRAX is getting denser than the county average, with more HH per acre: An increase of .374 HH/acre within the half mile buffer, compared to 0.093 for the county average. No Trax buffer lost HH from 2000 to 2010.

15 Bowing to branding superiority, the Coalition for Utah’s Future was renamed “Envision Utah” in 2007.

25 In November 2006, Utah County residents voted to increase their sales tax by $0.0025 to fund accelerated work on four light rail projects and the Frontrunner South line. These projects were initially part of the Wasatch Front Regional Council’s 2030 Long‐Range Plan. The additional funding accelerated the delivery of these projects 15 years earlier than projected.

38 Jon Huntsman, later Utah Governor, took over as board chair when Robert Grow was called away by the LDS Church to serve a three‐year mission. Greg Bell, now the Lt. Governor, succeeded Huntsman.

Now, I've been telling Utah that the Wasatch Regional Council, and those who head it like Andrew Gruber who is Metropolitan Planning Organization trained in Chicago and the American Planning Association is behind Agenda 21 in Utah for years.  They should be on everyone's radar, but there is very little reported on them.  You must realize these individuals and groups have to use deception in their words while also operating in plain sight to accomplish their United Nations goals while receiving accolades to keep the engine running.  I recommend everyone read the document published by the Brookings Institute, it will help you discover the wolf in sheep's clothing.

Is it any wonder why the United Nations selected Salt Lake City  to host 2019 United Nations NGO Conference in 2019?

With all the mind control fostered by using the cult mentality, Here's why this United Nations conference will be held in Utah instead of New York for the first time ever.  The education is complete! 

"This generation has so much to offer to help determine concrete actions to make communities more inclusive and sustainable," Alison Smale, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for global communications.

She continued,

"Driving out here from the center of town, one is struck by the number  of cars on the road," she added. "What are we going to do? Are we going to have conventional cars driving around for much longer? When will public transit — of which you have some great examples in Salt Lake — really become the mode of transport? Is that an impossible dream?"

 ~ Priceless!
If you haven't caught on yet, this whole Agenda in Utah is being DRIVEN by the guru of transportation, Andrew Gruber (MPO/WFRC), using Envision Utah to create a psyop in order to convince people IT IS THEIR IDEA!  THEY WANT YOU OUT OF YOUR CAR and packed like sardines into the city center where you are more easily CONTROLLED!   Check out Grindall61 videos he explains this very well, he also has many more videos on YT.

The Life on State project establishes a shared vision for the future of our valley's central, historic corridor. The vision was built on broad involvement from residents and stakeholders along State Street, claims Wasatch Front Regional Council, a Metro Planning Organization social engineering every community along the Wasatch Front.  An un-elected board of state and local elected leaders under the direction of Andrew Gruber.  To uncover the was these organizations work and co-opt the community to accept THEIR PLAN as our own the following information is very enlightening.

The Raw Deceit of Envision Utah-

John Anthony - Sustainable Freedom Lab

 

Planners call Envision Utah a ‘national model’ for regional planning. The Brookings Institute cited Utah as a “leader in [voluntary] regional planning…”

Behind the inflated congratulations lies sophisticated deceit and manipulation fast becoming the standard for regional planning.

Envision Utah began over 15 years ago as a public-private partnership offering recommendations to cities and counties to preserve open space, increase transportation choices and more.

Envision Utah claims to have one of regional planning’s most successful outreach programs. Nearly 2,000 people attended 50 workshops and 17,500 responded to online and mail-in surveys. Yet, the turnout is no wonder.

In one of the longest-running marketing campaigns in planning history, Envision Utah proponents assured residents that joining the plan was voluntary. There would be no un-elected regional councils, no regional plan, and the community would design the planning scenarios. This ‘no-risk’ campaign effectively disarmed community members’ objections, leaving planners free to advance their programs beneath a mantel of “neutrality”.

But, Envision Utah’s promissory jargon belies the unscrupulous tactics they used to win residents’ approval for the same mixed-use-open space algorithm that has been rejected in Utah and communities across the country.

Marketing to values-

Early in the planning process, the Envision Utah steering committee hired nationally recognized polling firm, Wirthland Worldwide, to determine the ‘quality of life’ values held by community members.

Survey results revealed that most respondents saw their state as a “safe haven, where others shared their common sense of honesty, morality and ethics.” They placed these values in the context of children and their families.

Envision Utah proponents then used these values as the centerpiece of a targeted marketing strategy designed to impose the planner’s ideas community by community.

Renaming controversial ideas-

Since the survey indicated family interaction was a high priority, planners re-branded their efforts. Urban planning became the glue that held families together. “High-density living”, was recast as compact housing that allowed young families to locate near relatives. Grandparents were urged to buy condos near their children rather than worry about new zoning laws that could restrict single family homes. Planners rarely discussed their role in creating the “restrictions.”

Planners replaced the unpopular term “Smart Growth”, with the more benign, “Quality Growth Strategy.” In keeping with their targeted marketing, Quality Growth meant keeping the air and water clean for children and grandchildren.

The “chip game”-

In 1998 Envision Utah developed a unique “chip game” which allowed community participants to place chips, representing homes, on a map to decide the future layout of their community. In deciding where to place homes, people had to consider complex issues such sewage lines, utilities and other services. It was billed as people talking charge of their future. Yet, even this community activity was highly controlled.

Early on planners established basic understandings. More open spaces were needed, long work drives damaged the environment and urban sprawl was to be avoided. This left the players few planning options. It was no surprise when most participants decided in favor of the same mixed-use, transit oriented living the planners wanted all along.

Promoting the vague-

Envision Utah avoided creating a visible plan that could be analyzed. Instead planners talked about principles, and suggested, rather than advocated, transit-oriented living, mixed-use and open spaces. They then ‘nudged’ community members to “do the right thing” by barraging them with internet ads, newspaper articles and workshops educating Utahans to the dangers of not having these urban designs.

In one example, Utah Transit Authority’s “King of the Road” commercial showed a man driving his convertible top-down, humming to the 60’s tune. Meanwhile, the crawl says, “He doesn’t know the words…Also doesn’t know that UTA takes 81,000 cars a year off the road.”

In 30 seconds, the ad depicts young, carefree people who love freedom as clueless, while reinforcing the dubious assumption that driving less is undeniably beneficial. At best, it is undeniably controversial.

Winning through fear-

Often scare tactics employed half-truths as in this example from Envision Utah’s website:

“In urban areas, land close to existing job centers is rapidly disappearing, and if we’re not careful about how we grow, housing costs could skyrocket and force many of our good, hard-working neighbors elsewhere— excluding from our communities teachers, fire fighters, and our own children as they get their start in life. The further Utahans live from where they work, shop and play, the more they spend on car-related expenses.”

Notice the implied threat that if people do not live in a high density area, they could lose teachers, firefighters and even their own children (remember the values survey results) to rising costs. Little consideration was given to the exorbitant housing costs in other Smart Growth areas like, Seattle and Portland. The observation that car-costs rise if you move away from the urban center, overlooks the reality that, for many, this may be a worthwhile trade-off.

In spite of Envision Utah’s calculated posturing, there is little “neutral” about these statements.

The king of surveys-

Colorful, interactive online surveys still attract thousands and are promoted by Envision Utah and the state.

In this survey, targeting residents of Madison County, Utah, the planners explain that higher priced home costs are the result of larger lots and will require “individual families to sink wells and septic tanks.” Larger properties and self-contained services are positioned as burdens with no talk of the benefits.

Beneath the graph, planners note, “The more you spread out, the more expensive it is. This is not a judgment, just facts to think about. Road costs [are] paid by everybody.” The message is clear. Roads are costly, and if you want more, you are selfish since everyone else pays for them. There is no mention of the increased respiratory diseases, traffic congestion and exorbitant housing costs that accompany the high-density living planners are promoting.

As one seasoned planner observed, “Envision Utah uses the most biased surveys I have ever seen.”

Keys to success-

If Envision Utah has met success, it is mainly the result of distorted facts and a relentless, decade’s long marketing campaign creating the illusion that planners are neutral and participation is “voluntary.” One must wonder how many communities would volunteer if equal efforts were expended marketing the failures of compact living.

In spite of the deceptions, other regions, including Envision Missoula, Building the Wyoming We Want, Envision Central Texas, Louisiana Speaks, Superstition Vistas, Thrive 2055, and many more are adopting all or a portion of the Envision Utah model.

But plans that lure participants through deception can result in unwanted surprises.

Un-elected regional councils with the authority to mandate local zoning and regulations are the goal post of regional planning. Yet, Envision Utah created no new un-elected council. Urban designs are built upon pre-existing regional authorities like local Metropolitan Planning Organizations and the Utah Transit Authority. But once the smaller regional plans are completed, there is little to prevent a consortium of their leaders from formalizing a single larger region. Will this happen? It’s hard to say.

But history shows, all it takes is a little deceit and a good marketing campaign.

The Dark Horse Behind Draper City Development and the Utah State Prison ...

Talk of moving the Utah State Prison out of the city of Draper has been going on for some time, but John Huntsman Jr. while serving as Utah's Governor, turned up the heat with his dream of ousting the prison in favor of redeveloping the land for "economic development."  It's been considered prime property by many with dollar signs in their eyes, but Utah residents have become accustomed to having the prison in their midst.  Poll after poll showed Utah citizens opposed moving the prison off the site in Draper.  Citizens educated themselves about the current property and a large majority of Utahan's felt that building a new facility on the current site was best for the taxpayers and community.

Government types, in large majority, have been advocating moving the state prison anywhere BUT Draper, as evidenced by their current resolution to move the prison to Salt Lake City, West of the Salt Lake International Airport.  It's still in Salt Lake County mind you, it just opens up the Draper parcel to development.  As Alliance For A Better Utah pointed out in a 2014 article there were 21 state elected from the House and Senate that had real estate and development ties including Wayne Niederhauser (Senate President-Sandy) and Greg Hughes (House Speaker-Draper) at the time of the announcement on August 19, 2015.  Governor Gary Herbert was also serving as Lieutenant Governor under Huntsman and has carried the torch for a long time.   He is expected to sign the measure.  I do find it interesting that Brad Wilson (who also has ties to real estate and development) sponsored the resolution, as he is from Kaysville.  No matter, they are all having a "toast" for "mission accomplished." I found it frustrating that they all "galloped" up to a special session in order to see to it the resolution moved forward without the usual citizen watchdogs they are used to handling during the regular session.  Niederhauser made mention that this was the first of 2 special sessions this year.  I hope they don't make a habit of this!  We are going to end up like California with a "full time" legislature.  What a nightmare! 

 

As I watched the press conference announcing the resolution passing, I couldn't help but notice how "giddy" Stevenson, Wilson and Hughes were on camera.  Niederhauser appeared to be in a trance or under some sort of mind control, but the laughter and backslapping did not go unnoticed, and no wonder.  They are all full of talk of economic development and making money for the state.  They talk in terms of business propositions.  I have news for you, government is not, and should not be in the business of making money!  Your JOB is to manage The People's money, but I'm sure the cronyism will be evident as the process moves forward with their talk of Public Private Partnerships, (Fascism Alert).  Representative Wilson talked about the "Biggest Building Ever Built In History", to the tune of $550 million, or from ($1.0 - $1.8 Billion depending on who's throwing around numbers), actually going DOWN as the project moves forward.  Can you imagine?  Will it rival this?  The biggest building project on a plot of land of 5000 acres going down in price?  It's a "pipe-dream!"  Wilson and Luz Escamillia also talked about the prison move actually fixing the "landfill problem."  "No!"  I think that actually exacerbates our problem.  Where do you think all of our garbage is going to go now?  Senator Escimillia also hammered away at economic development adjacent to the new prison.  So I ask, "was this NOT happening around the current site in Draper?"  And, do you really think people are going to make the trek out to the prison swamp-land for something they can get at City Creek?  I can't wait to hear what captain's of the airliners will say upon approach to the Salt Lake City International Airport..."Welcome to beautiful Salt Lake City, Crossroads of the West and home of the Utah State Penitentiary."  Although legislators spoke of a "tough debate" over the issue, it passed the House with 82% of the vote, and the Senate by 72%.  Truth be told, they were overwhelmingly on the same page to move the prison out of Draper.  Although, Salt Lake City Mayor and Council are threatening to sue the state over their decision.  Senator Jerry Stevenson (UTA TRAX connection), mentioned several times during the press conference that Utah Leg. may just annex the property into Magna, another Salt Lake County City.  Ben McAdams is probably "giddy" over this idea too.  But, once again, Salt Lake County taxpayers will be picking up the tab for the landfill cleanup and the new roads and infrastructure, including water and sewer.  It will just make his head swell as Mayor of the largest populated/developed county in Utah with over 1 million residents.

 

There is still a lot to debate moving forward with the new prison project, but let's turn our heads toward the Draper Prison Redevelopment Plan, labeled by some as the "Silicon Slopes."  I still think the scheme to move the prison was conjured up by those with "$$" signs in their eyes!  And, there is enough of that to go around.  Step in Representative Brad Dee from Ogden.  He was quoted in a news article by the same name saying, 

"the talk hasn't come from us.  Our emphasis has been should we move it...it's ludicrous to suggest anyone in the Legislature has a conflict of interest with developing the prison site at this point.  We're not talking today about who may benefit or what might happen.  If a decision is made this session to move the prison, questions of where and when and how will come in the next few years." ~ Brad Dee

Now, things are starting to get interesting!  Brad Dee has been serving on a board of consultants, Wasatch Front Regional Council, or (WFRC).  It is considered a COG, or Council Of Government, made up of elected officials from every city and county along the Wasatch Front.  The group was formed around 1969 as a volunteer organization. It is now a Corporation, claiming it's authority from a Utah law known as the Interlocal Cooperation Act of Utah.  Basically, these groups set themselves up as "experts" and start wielding their power in every aspect of your life and your private property, driving Utah's elected, (City, County, State), by code and appropriations, (your tax dollars), to bring about their Agenda it is cronyism at it's best and fascism at it's worst.  It is Agenda 21 Sustainable Development.  It takes the power out of the hands of The People, and is government by committee.  This COG is what is driving the Redevelopment efforts in Draper and every other city in Utah!  It's set up to look innovative and unique, but all the "plans" are the same.  It's not innovation at all!  As Kathleen Marquardt points out in her article, 

"you will see that the planning for a town in Texas and one in Tennessee somehow have the exact same needs, desires and problems. Of course you can do that for Missoula, Montana and Albany, New York. You will find that not only does every place have those same needs, desires and problems but that the answers are also exactly the same, down to the density of housing and the eradication of the automobile."

In short, do you want someone from Ogden and Layton, (J. Stewart Adams Contractor), telling you what your General Plan will consist of in Draper?  The answer should be "NO!"  They are not accountable to you.  Yet, when the legislative sessions start on Capital Hill, if a citizen from Draper calls them in opposition to a law they are opposed to, those legislators will not listen to them because they don't live in their district!  Yet the laws they enact effect ALL Utahans!

In order to see how sinister this whole Draper Redevelopment Plan is you have to understand who's wielding the power as head of WFRC.  His name is Andrew Gruber.  He took over the helm of WFRC in 2010.  Basically he's a lawyer who cut his teeth in the Regional Transportation Authority of Chicago.  It's his "wheelhouse".  Which is fitting since every redevelopment plan across Utah is CENTERED around the Transportation Agenda.  It's no wonder that every plan includes Light Rail, Commuter Rail, (both UTA run), and Obama's High Speed Rail, don't these people know that high speed rail went out in the 90's, and is prominent in most third world countries?  Here's the specs on the Draper Prison Site Redevelopment...105 acres of open space, MORE THAN 5,000 High and Medium Density "residential units", (make no mistake, these are going to be apartments from 600 square feet up),  and nearly 9 Million square feet of office space in addition to retail, research and development and "other" uses. (Silicon Slopes KSL).  It's Andrew Gruber's ultimate dream, eliminating cars so you have to ride his transportation system.  Do you see my point about cronyism and fascism?  Don't believe me about the "no more cars theory?"  All you have to do is look at the artist renderings to notice they very rarely show cars, only buses, trains and bikes, and people walking the streets of course!  In the high density housing in West Valley, (Fairbourne Station), some residents are allowed to park one car, but they have to pay an extra fee to park it on the property so, everyone parks on the street!  This whole thing is a racket!  Don't forget, you are provided possible employment so you can work on site and never leave your neighborhood!

Rosa Koire says in part,

"In a nutshell, the plan calls for government to take control of all land use and not leave any of the decision making in the hands of private property owners.  It is assumed that people are not good stewards of their land and the government will do a better job if they are in control.  Individual rights in general are to give way to the needs of communities as determined by the governing body.  Moreover, people should be rounded up off the land and packed into human settlements, or islands of human habitation, close to employment centers and transportation.  Another program, called the Wildlands Project spells out how most of the land is to be set aside for non-humans."

In short, Andrew Gruber and his Wasatch Front Regional Council's "Draper Prison Redevelopment Plan" is just that...exchanging one prison for another, known throughout history as the Concentration Camp, where your life will be created and controlled by the establishment.  You'll live, but it won't be much of a life.

"This plan is a whole life plan.  It involves the educational system, the energy market, the transportation system, the governmental system, the health care system, food production, and more.  The plan is to restrict your choices, limit your funds, narrow your freedoms, and take away your voice." ~ Rosa Koire

Remember, Andrew Gruber was not elected by any of us, but he is driving this Agenda, the Smart Growth/Smart Cites Plan masked as a Transportation Plan.  Andrew Gruber also sits on Envision Utah Board of Directors, the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations, the National Association of Regional Councils, Utah Governor's Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR), the University of Utah's College of Architecture and Planning, (he's not an architect, but he plays one on TV), among many others.

 Now let's hear from Mayor Tony Walker Draper City.

"While there was talk about what [could] happen at the prison site, no one had shown what the property's future [could] look like... We wanted to let everyone know Draper is not going to be provincial, dream big, and those drawings are a good rendition of our vision.  We want to show you that we're players, we'll do it the way it [needs] to be done, we think we know how to plan it, we know how to zone it, and we think we know what would work really well there." ~ Salt Lake Tribune

He also said, "he's a guy who needs to see pictures."

 

Draper Councilman Jeff Stenquist said,

"We feel like this is something that, while it would benefit Draper City, is a unique opportunity to benefit the entire Region... What we came up with isn't based on a concrete proposal at this point, it's just a concept."  ~ Salt Lake Tribune

I don't know about you, but I didn't agree to any "Regional Government!"  Look at the renderings of West Valley's Plan.  These things never change from concept to construction!  And, although Utah Leg. claims to "not know" what will happen with the land, it's all planned out by Gruber and his crony's down to the last square inch!  Draper City Council passed a resolution stating, 

"the vision for the property is in line with Growth Plans developed by the Wasatch Front Regional Council as it would [accommodate] future population growth as well as provide opportunities for employees and residents to live close to work, walk or bike to shop and have both great transit and road access necessary to lessen negative effects of congestion and poor air quality."

Talk about your "boondoggle", this controversy is not over!  

 

A "Dark Horse" is defined as, "a little-known person or thing that emerges to prominence, especially in a competition of some sort, or a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed."  As I've followed the prison debacle it became ever present that Andrew Gruber was the Dark Horse that would be realizing his pipe-dream of his planned development, disguiesed as a transportation plan, coming to fruition in Draper.  He can now cross Draper City off the list of his Agenda 21 Sustainable Development Smart Cities/Smart Growth Plan, and consider the march toward fascism one step closer.
