DVD 1: FALSE CHOICE: HOW SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IS TRANSFORMING YOUR COMMUNITY
If you’ve ever been confused by the relationship between Sustainable Development, Agenda 21 and Regionalism—or have found yourself frustrated when trying to explain these concepts to others—then you need this DVD.
SFL created this video tool in 2013 to help you understand the convoluted Agenda 21 action plan so you can explain it credibly and effectively to others. Even better, we’ll then show you how to fight back!
Sustainable Development and Regionalism are the two greatest threats to property rights today. Together, they supercharge the expansion of Agenda 21. And it’s impossible to grasp the scope of Regionalism without first having a full understanding of Sustainable Development. This video explains every detail of Agenda 21 and Regionalism in a way that is easy to understand and appeals to a broad audience.
Part 1 (Agenda 21) of this video illustrates the connection between Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development clearly and without political partisanship.
Part 2 (Regionalism) exposes how proponents use Regionalism to advance Agenda 21 while silencing opposition.
Also covered in this DVD:
- How Sustainable Development and Regionalism could have been great ideas, but were co-opted to advance liberty-robbing programs that strip authority from local officials and confiscate more land for government ownership.
- Why regionalism is so dangerous, and how to stop it. Regionalism is little more than a way to silence opposition to Agenda 21 while transferring wealth from rural property owners to America’s new urban habitats.
- Real stories of Republican and Democratic officials who have had their authority stripped away, community members shut out of the planning process and phony surveys that create false impressions while providing the excuse to steamroll local communities.
- How groups like HUD and Building One America, working through the Sustainable Communities Initiative, engage in the worst hypocrisy. They praise “community participation,” but install processes that render those community members powerless.
So end the confusion and help others comprehend the threat that Sustainable Development and Regionalism bring to our communities. Watch this DVD.
DVD 2: STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT PLANNING
Sustainable development and regionalism are steamrolling communities across America. They strip away property rights, diminish local rule and infringe on our ability to own land free and clear.
Straight Talk about Planning (STAP) contains 8 chapters that alert unsuspecting community members to the problems of sustainable development and regionalism.
Finally, an exceptional tool everyone can use!
STAP is unlike any other planning DVD. Each chapter is in a concise, (approximately 5 minutes,) self-contained slide format so you can easily and consistently communicate the facts about sustainable development to your family, friends, neighbors—and most importantly, local elected officials.
The deeply researched chapters on this DVD define exactly what sustainable development is, the tricks its proponents use to promote it, the hidden agendas, and the ramifications of sustainable development against our property rights and even the quality of our lives. These chapters offer the short and simple truth in a way that is understandable, reasonable in tone and politically neutral.
Straight Talk about Planning DVD contents include:
1. The Other Side of Sustainable Development
2. The New Goals of “Regionalism”
3. The Risky World of Grants
4. How “Livability Principles” Limit Community Choices
5. The Disturbing Surprises in Conservation Easements
6. Sales Tricks Planners Use—Part A
7. Sales Tricks Planners Use—Part B
8. The Federal Government, Planning, and Property Rights
But, most important, each chapter delivers the message that every single property owner can protect the environment without compromising their property. We can be socially just and build strong and sustainable communities without placing our homes, our earnings and the sanctity of our way of life at risk.
Each DVD purchase includes:
- The Straight Talk about Planning DVD w/ 8 presentations
- STAP Resource Guide with a full list of chapter sources to continue your own work

Property is our most precious possession. Buy this DVD, watch it, and share it.
DVD 3: NO CHOICE – HOW HUD CONTROLS YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS
Our federal government is dismantling personal property rights in the largest attack on local rule in our nation’s history.
By accusing communities of discrimination and civil rights violations, HUD has ignored Congress and used the Fair Housing Act to grant themselves the authority to control local planning and land use.
HUD’s rule, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) forces communities that accept HUD grants to comply with aggressive federal planning schemes or face bankrupting government-contrived lawsuits.
Our newest DVD, “No Choice – How HUD Controls your Property Rights” blows the lid off HUD’s actions in clear terms all community members can understand.
People do not see the gradual property confiscation because local officials want the grant money and people trust HUD’s goals of helping the poor and ending discrimination.
But, communities can no longer afford to surrender their property rights and choices in exchange for federal agencies “granting” back the money that was always theirs.
People need to understand that government is not helping their communities. These grants strip away community rights for the sole purpose of adding to federal power over our towns, counties and states. That is why I created this DVD.
SFL’s new DVD, “No Choice” exposes all of HUD’s tactics. The video is broken into 10 chapters to make it easy to access and share information.
Chapter 1: Property Rights Matter – If government can control your property, it can control your behavior. This chapter shows the frightening power the federal government can exercise in anyone’s life when it controls your property.
Chapter 2: Fair Housing Act and AFFH – Explains why and how this administration contorted federal law to grant themselves power over local land use and even overturn voter’s decisions.
Chapter 3: HUD’s New Legal Force – The video details the landmark legal case that gave birth to HUD’s AFFH power grab and the man who makes millions of dollars suing local communities. When people see this chapter, they get steaming mad.
Chapter 4: Creating Your Own Liability – HUD enforces their AFFH rule by encouraging grassroots civil rights organizations to sue their own communities for supposed barriers to fair housing. See how HUD’s actions tear communities apart and pit neighbor against neighbor.
Chapter 5: Regional Annexation – Regions appoint unelected councils that take choices away from voters and divest authority from local public officials. Regions are also easier for the federal government to manage. Learn how HUD’s new rule forces smaller communities to join regions whether they want to or not.
Chapter 6: The Binding “Obligation” –Every community that applies for HUD’s most popular grants must sign a single statement that can lead to a devastating False Claims Act lawsuit. To avoid lawsuits, counties and towns are crumbling to meet HUD’s demands. This chapter shows how legal experts interpret the wording.
Chapter 7: HUD Gets Tough – HUD is issuing compliance reviews, threatening to withhold grant money, engaging in False Claims Act lawsuits, disparate impact suits and taking record numbers of actions against communities. This chapter outlines some of the cases. You will want to share this with your public officials.
Chapter 8: More than Affordable Housing – Everyone in America should watch this single chapter. HUD is no longer merely about affordable housing. The agency has already said their new rule is just a platform for advancing a suitcase full of costly programs in communities. Learn about “upward mobility”, “socioeconomic diversity”, “Regional Equity Assistance Centers”, “behavioral messaging” and more programs that threaten to remake your community. HUD has even partnered with the departments of Education and Transportation to redesign entire communities. If your town refuses to comply, local officials can expect the grant funds to be withdrawn or to face charges of civil rights violations, or failure to affirmatively further fair housing and more.
Chapter 9: How to Stop AFFH – The 2nd circuit Federal court explains how to avoid the increased liability from HUD grants.
Chapter 10: Resources – We can stop HUD and the federal government from centrally planning our communities. This chapter outlines more tools and programs to help you learn about and end government overreach.
