Silicon Valley investors who purchased vast swathes of land in California has said they now have all the acreage they need to create a new 'walkable and green' utopian city.
Flannery Associates LLC has spent more than $800 million discreetly buying up areas around Travis Air Force Base in Solano County over several years, for a project dubbed 'California Forever'.
The billionaires behind the group, whose identities were finally revealed at the end of August, acquired around 814 more acres in October, meaning it now owns more than 53,000 acres in the region.
Flannery says the proposed new city will be 'walkable and green', create thousands of jobs and 'bring back the California Dream' - against the backdrop of the steep economic and social decline of nearby San Francisco.
But the project has been criticized by locals over potential impacts on the agricultural economy and air base security.

They paid $15,000 an acre? Lol, suckers.
If I owned land downstream or upwind from this billionaire’s planned hippie commune I’d sell it now before they even break ground on this future disaster area.
LOL! Wait until the homeless start camping there.
Yes, a wall
...AND six to eight officers per 1,000 residents (West average for cities >200,000 people is 1.4; West average for cities <10,000 is 4.3).
...AND a DA who charges criminals for crimes.
...AND a police force that is empowered to run vagrants out of town and cite people for public indecency.
...AND a large prison.
...AND a hanging judge.
> California
The project is doomed from the start.
From what I know, not really. They are now just overly regulated suburban cities.
Trespassers probably NOT welcome. Will it be a gun/carbon free society?
Not enough social distancing....
Maybe so. But I know the area well. It’s zoned agricultural for the most part, or five acre parcels, that sort of thing. I 80 is essentially the only arterial in the area, and runs east west to the south of the area. 80 is a massive freeway yet it jammed a lot do the time. We’ll see, maybe the Solano County Board of Supervisors will rezone, but I dare say the local residents are going to have something to say about this
It will be as walkable as Chicago or Philadelphia.
“Man makes plans, God Laughs.” Betting on Murphy and the inability for those wealthy enough to live there to never get along.
Folsom Prison is walkable too.

Peeps will shoplift the stores and bully customers outside those stores. The Electric Vehicles will be broken into repeatedly, and some homeless will expand into the Territory. People on drugs will hold signs at the Intersection begging for money. All the non-English immigrants in N California will be interested.
They are going to market Utopia but the state policies will ensure chaos and crime.
Murder Mountain (Marijuana farms) are not far and that county had the highest Murder rates and dropout rates per capita.
and where do all said people work, all WFH... right???
they’ll be discriminating for sure....they’ll get their nice thin and trim soccer moms and their equally thin and trim touchy feeling husbands.....I imagine they’ll all look the same...
.
I left out Taxes. You don’t think your brochure Utopia won’t be taxed like there’s no tomorrow?
Apparently, from the pictures, it appears that the idiots are building it for the EuroPeons and of course, Northern California’s “homeless.” and illegal aliens.
Who is going to work in all of these businesses?
