Man this sounds like Atlas Shrugged!
They are melting down automobiles to build housing, This sounds just like the "Cash for clunkers" program. They will probably destroying working automobiles to make materials for housing projects that will no doubt ever actually be finished. The people melting the cars down and the construction companies building the "affordable" "worker housing" will however make money.
It could actually be said that Donald Sterling is a victim of an evil plot if the dots can be connected properly.
Just goes to prove the point... Ayn was spot on right... ;-)
