CURRY UNIVERSITY
PICCED is another branch of The POINTER INSTITUTE - a libertarian think tank pointing out the pointlessness of government involvement in community and environmental development. Pointing planners toward intelligent points in free-market development.  The Pointer Institute (PI) is a school for planners, developers, future planners and developers, and teachers of planning and development, with a resource center, and seminars that can be scheduled, and the famous standing "planner debate challenge" and other educational debates, to teach planners the "point" of personal and economic freedom and point them toward relevant resources.  PI also provides libertarian lecturers through its Libertarian Speakers Bureau.

Spearheaded by an internationally published libertarian author with a degree in mass communications (journalism) and a degree in law, the Pointer Institute helps government planners to understand constitutional rights (including private property rights), and why government planners are proof that government schools are an unconstitutional impediment to intelligent community and environmental development.

The Pointer Institute sponsors continual exposés of the lie of "government planning."   PI exposes the gullibility of planners, and statism/socialism in planning, socialistic sycophants in community development, and explains the important point of personal and economic freedom.

PI sponsors the POINTER AWARDS that praise any examples of libertarianism and capitalism in planning, and simultaneously condemns the planners for socialism and statism.  Please send any nominations for the most libertarian planning personalities and/or stories.  And also send nominations for the best examples of ignorance of simple economics or of liberty in planning.

The Pointer Institute is imperative because "planning" today has developed a horrible trait wherein planners will dance around a topic and never make any point other than than the veiled call for socialism that "the government needs to do something." Examples are on the linked page of this website (click here).

PI is helping planners and developers to become winners, not wieners, nor whiners.  In a free society the planning excells, but as our society slides into socialism, "government planning" becomes high camp.

Rex Curry
Professor and Associate Director, Pointer Institute Center for Community and Environmental Development (PICCED).

Rex Curry has over twenty years of experience in speaking and writing about the urban planning and community development field.  During this time he has contributed to the development and success of the oldest planning assistance program in the United States -the free market.  He specializes in community-based planning, neighborhood market analysis, historic preservation and related strategies leading to comprehensive and integrative economic development in distressed and undistressed areas, all without government involvement.  He has supported organizations to raise program non-government development funds for a variety of  and community-based development corporations.  He is also available to consult on the planning and development of community design centers.

For over twenty years, Rex Curry has taught the community and community leaders a variety of non-government urban planning methods.   As a former member of the Lake Padgett Estates East Property Owner's Association, he furthered the development of this organization in utilizing for-profit and non-governmental planning and architectural practices in the area.  Community Design Centers refer to a variety of non-governmental / private firms that provide materials and assistance to members of the public and they are dedicated to the service of low- and moderate- and high-income people and community-based organizations serving all neighborhoods.

What is your definition of Community Design?  What free people do in a free market economy that recognizes and protects private property rights.

What process do you use to involve the community in design?  competitive market pricing, advertising, word of mouth, supply and demand.

What is the future of community design?  The socialist trio of atrocities (the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the People's Republic of China, the National Socialsit German Workers' Party) and their lessers (Cuba, India, Cambodia, etc) have demonstrated that great community design comes not from government / socialism but from a great future in capitalism, private property rights and liberty.

How can community design be funded?  The same way that food, clothing, shelter, widgets and every other good and service is funded in a free society.

What were some of the problems you faced as a Community Designer? How were they solved?  I face constant interference from government / socialism, from people who have not learned the lessons of history.  The problems are solved by trying to enlighten government and socialists, and failing that, by interfering right back at them, and if necessary, resorting to litigation to protect freedom and private property rights.

How can service learning best be integrated with Community Design?  By actually working in the market with customers and providing the best product at the best price, and paying attention to feedback from customers.

Join libertarians against historic preservation legislation. Learn about the Committee for the Protection of your Rights (CPR). The fact that CPR opposes the historic ordinances does not mean that they oppose historic preservation.  They oppose laws about historic preservation.

Learn about Randal O'Toole, a researcher with the Cato Institute in Washington D.C. He says that government planning does more harm than good. He is well known for his libertarian opposition to any form of urban planning.  He exposes the nonsensical interventionist moves by government to disrupt the forces of supply and demand in an effort to engineer certain outcomes in our sadly mixed economy.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION LAWS ARE BAD! http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg
Fight historic preservation regulations and oppose historic preservation laws. They are hysterical perversions.
Fight the dogma of Edward Bellamy, Francis Bellamy, and Looking Backward at the Pledge of Allegiance

Historic preservation laws are bad.  When government aids historic preservation with tax dollars, regulations, or in any way, the government becomes the violator of property rights. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg

The purpose of government is to protect individuals and their property from interference by others.   That is why Libertarians, Objectivists, and freedom-loving people oppose government assistance in historic preservation. http://rexcurry.net/commentary/historic.html

So long as preservationists spend their own money and time, and do not use government to pursue their petty fetish, they may do as they like with property they own or purchase, and leave the property of others alone. http://rexcurry.net/curry-mansion.html

Historic preservation laws result from histrionic whining by hysterical perversionists. When the government is involved, a truthful sign would state: "Historic Preservation: Your tax dollars become history."

As an attorney, the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets") is consulted about historic preservation laws, historic districts and other violations of private property rights. Known as the "Libertarian Historic Preservationist," he notes that today's historic preservationists impede greater histories of the future. Historic preservationists block future historic structures. They prevent historic homes from being replaced by new homes that would also become historical.  Newer structures become more historical than the old ones, thanks to capitalism. 

Historic preservationists owe their entire movement and  a debt of gratitude (which they will never pay) to capitalism.  Historic homes and buildings were built by capitalists and they are historical only because capitalists kept building other homes and buildings.  Preservable history exists only because change occurred.

Historic preservation is antidisestablishmentarianism.  The 28-letter word describes people who stop others from fighting the establishment and changing things.  Preservationism was thoroughly debunked by the capitalist philosopher Ayn Rand in her novel "The Fountainhead."   Preservationists are neo-luddites and, like the luddites of 19th Century England, they fight progress as well as the liberty, property rights and capitalism that bring progress, and they use old structures as an excuse. http://rexcurry.net/commentary/philadelphia.html

It is the dogma of American socialists like Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of the book "Looking Backward") and their desire to nationalize all property in their global nationalism movment. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg

That dogma of socialism not only destroys history and historic structures, it also destroys prosperity and lives. It did all of that and more in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): ~60 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; ~50 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; ~20 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg

Some preservationists say that they are trying to "teach history."  What lesson is to be learned?  Judging from the regulatory slant of preservationists, old structures are grotesque reminders of how bad things were before government grew so big and preservationists grew so powerful.

A principled preservation group would restore not just old structures, but what produced them: free enterprise, progress, and the historic relationship of government and people.  Old homes would teach of times when taxes and government revenue were tiny, when old neighborhoods and private mass transit flourished, when historic preservationists could not impose their whims on private property. Old homes would memorialize a history of individual rights and capitalism.  A principled preservation group would act without government aid and against it.  Now that's historic preservation! http://rexcurry.net/curry-mansion.html

Modern preservationists do not preserve history.  All real estate has history spanning the age of the earth.  Why do preservationists fixate on present structures?  "Hysterical" preservationists can only histrionically whine, "It's what's there now!"  Preservationism is strange idolatry that romanticizes old homes as empty symbols of arbitrary times.  They do not want to preserve everything that is historic, and they do not want to restore the historic Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, nor even remind anyone about those parts of their romanticized history. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg

Historic preservation does not involve conflicts between property "rights" and "responsibilities."  There is never such a conflict.  People have property rights and everyone's responsibility is not to violate those rights.

The same government that trumpets preservation destroyed historic neighborhoods with urban renewal, strangled downtown businesses with taxes and bureaucracy, and helped build highways through historic communities.  The expansive government preservationists support destroys more historical private property than it ever saves.  

Modern preservationists shirk responsibility. Preservationists do not plan ahead, but wait until new construction nears and then cry for government to intervene.  It never matters how preservation impacts dreary people who need jobs, food, clothing, and shelter.  Preservationists who enlist government are cavalier people with a love for old structures no deeper than their neighbors' pockets.
