As long as they used their own money, that’s fine. Maybe they will be able to design a walkable city that is livable.
California sucks, tech billionaires suck, utopias suck, greenies suck. But still, we need some new cities, we need to build things, we need stop being such a lazy consumer country. So building a city is a good project. Whether this one in particular is or not, who knows.
Have any of these planned cities worked out as expected?
This is hardly a new idea. Columbia, Maryland; Reston, Virginia; Celebration, Florida, are just a few places which were planned to be self contained cities, and not just another suburban or bedroom community.
It would be interesting to know if these planned communities worked out the way they expected. I’m sure the developers of this new planned city have studied places such as I’ve noted.
So when the homeless and “dreamer immigrants” come to this Utopia and squat, defecate the streets, OD on drugs in the park and commit crimes, how will they respond?
Those paintings aren’t very diverse. There’s one fat black lady but she’s doing a double take at the stand saying “I can’t afford that sh*t on a housekeepers salary in Honkeytown!”
I can’t wait to see the level of fail that this turns into. It will take them years just to agree to the statement of unceded Tribal Lands.
Our elite can’t build or create anything, anymore.
They just cannibalize what was already there. (I would exclude Elon and his rockets).
The rest just “re-invent”: renting out rooms, running an illegal taxi, selling at the flea market, turning tricks.
Dress these up as high tech and an “app” and sell it for billions.
These clowns invented nothing new to either deal with corona, or help the Ukrainians in the war.
They are nothing !
How much “low income “ housing will the gov require ..?
Will there be a place for the homeless tent people?
But where will the “affordable housing crowd” live the ones that mow their lawns and clean the toilets
As a bonus, the will have a entertainment feature called Carousel.
Ferals and illegals will make short work of these honkies, Indians, asians and their little city during SHTF.
Sounds like it could become one massive HOA. That’s okay if you like that sort of thing but a lot of folks regret moving to HOA neighborhoods.
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.
> California
The project is doomed from the start.
Not enough social distancing....
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.
