Will Greta Thunberg be their mayor?

[metmom]

I doubt it.

Mankind will never build a utopia. We just don’t have it within us.

Only God can provide that and even after 1,000 years of it, mankind will still rebel and try to destroy it.

It should be interesting to watch how this all goes, how much it ends up costing, and how it bombs.

[metmom]

It could only stand a chance of being feasible at all in a climate that allows for people to walk all the time.

And that is certainly not the case here in New Engand.

[Wayne07]

Not entirely. Where was Gavin Newsom born? Where was Kamala Harris born? Plenty of native problems.

[Chode]

now there’s full time employment...

[piasa]

There was a scammer in Cal some years ago who got rich selling ideas like these to wealthy investors. The scammer even bought large tracts of land, put in a few model houses, etc, and signage.

Then when enough people got in the scammer bolted with loads of cash and changed company names, and did it afresh in a different locale.

“Where was Gavin Newsom born? Where was Kamala Harris born?”

Who raised them? New England implants. Who did CA vote for before the outside invasion? Nixon, Reagan, Bush Pete Wilson.

And don’t forget:

1. Illegals who’s names are put on voter rolls
2. Ballot stuffing, mail in voting

[Eleutheria5]

Fool and his money.

[AZJeep]

Come to think about it.
The homeless are people who walk the most.
So they will be the ideal residents!
Having designer tents and outdoor plumbing will be the main magnet for them to enjoy!

San Fran libs rebuilding to keep the riff-raff, from the homeless to the merely poor or middle class, out.

[SpokeshaveReturns]

N CA...in the hills....lot of rain and occasional snow in winter.

[peggybac]

Good luck keeping the undesirables out.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Haha. Logan’s Run reference.

[dsrtsage]

Finally, a good place to ship illegals

"Have any of these planned cities worked out as expected?"

Brasilia, Brazil. I think that's been a success story.

[Rockingham]

In Florida, I have seen a half dozen similar such walkable small cities and planned developments — and at least as many more such efforts in various stages of completion and levels of success. Tight planning, greenspace and public amenities, restrictive zoning, high incomes and property values, and low crime are essential ingredients. I wish this California effort well but do not see it as capable of bringing much of anything new to the formula.

[jonrick46]

These want to implement Agenda 21, which is Marxist in its objective.

[Tzimisce]

....so illegal aliens can flood California from Mexico, thanks to these billionaires who are now setting up a place where they can live with only people they personally choose?

Disney tried it with EPCOT in the early ‘80’s. Looks good on paper but won’t be easy to maintain. Aircraft noise will drive them nuts and SF prices have been creeping in from over the hill for many years. Good luck with that one.
