Why not just take a town like Detroit and rebuild it. A lot of the infrastructure is already in place.

Then it can fail even sooner.

They can get things right from the beginning.

Not tied into the national power grid, totally self-sufficient with lots of windmills and solar panels.

And Teslas.

They can also cut the crap and call it Jonestown.

“If you went into the desert where the land was worth nothing, or very little, and you created a foundation that owned the land, and people moved there and tax dollars built infrastructure and we built one of the greatest cities in the world, the foundation could be worth a trillion dollars,” Lore told Bloomberg Businessweek.

“And if the foundation’s mission was to take the appreciation of the land and give it back to the citizens in the form of medicine, education, affordable housing, social services: Wow, that’s it!”


Translated into the English:

“I am going to get the Democrats I bought to grant me a bunch of your money to set me up a foundation that will buy land on the cheap.

It’ll have a valuable natural resource on it, but I’ll get my Dems to gum it up with enviro regulations so I can buy it for nothing.

Then I’ll move in the rubes to build it up for me while I make $$$$$ selling the resources on the down low. My favored people will just happen to get elected to all the key positions, and when it’s time to dole out all those free things the suckers come in for, that’s when they find out they’re just serfs on my feifdom land.

Yep, neo-feudalism is the way of the future!”

uh, except there’s a REASON (actually MANY reasons) that land in a desert is worth little or nothing and consequently is economically inhabitable ... what a maroon ...

What could go right? He should just Ask for all the Afghanis that are coming to the USA.
But I say the guy is blowing smoke and won’t put up his own money to build Woke-ville-burg-ton.

Every Communist utopia ever started has failed. This rich genius thinks he is the first to come up with it. He should read up on history and start with Plimoth Plantation in MA. There’s a reason why “Woke”/Communism doesn’t work: Because it’s Communism.

How about creating a real Godly utopia instead ? Free markets. No welfare state. No degeneracy or worship of sodomy, “trannyism”, toxic feminaziism. One that extols the virtues of masculinity and femininity. Elimination of race-based laws in favor of color-blind. Teaching excellence and high standards of education and culture, faith-based Judeo-Christian values, critical thinking. Extoling the virtues of married, two-parent families. The polar opposite of everything we see today being pushed by the Satanic, Stalinazi Derp State/government/media/academia/culture.

We know which one works and which one has been a proven failure every time.

What would even hold the city together? Is there a shared religion, ideology -- or even institution, like the Mayo Clinic, where many of the city employees work, or a university, where student-faculty-staff populations can comprise a mini-city? No one is going to just "move" somewhere without an attraction or reason. The great cities of the world grew organically -- often trade or commerce centers, with the same ethnicity or national community. Without a purpose for being, or shared culture, the city will fail.

This guy probably imagines a bunch of happy-sappy PC types, proudly declaring their pronouns and giving each other warm fuzzies. Creepy as hell. City shouldn't just be rezoned; it should be called THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
