Former Walmart executive and e-commerce billionaire Marc Lore wants to build the world’s first woke city from scratch — somewhere in the US.
Lore last week unveiled plans for his utopia, called Telosa, from the ancient Greek word Telos, meaning "highest purpose."
"The mission of Telosa is to create a more equitable, sustainable future. That’s our North Star," Lore said in a promotional video. "We are going to be the most open, the most fair and the most inclusive city in the world."
Key to the city’s plans is Lore’s economic vision, called "Equitism," in which the land upon which the city is built will be donated to a community endowment.
Residents, in turn, own their homes on the land and are enriched as home values increase, according to the project’s site, and after a period of "hyper-growth," residents can buy the land from the community endowment.
"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!"
The city is meant to take on what Lore views as the United States’ biggest challenge — the rapidly growing wealth gap, which he said "is going to bring down America."
"While the current economic system is a growth engine, it has led to increasing inequality," the project’s website explains. "Equitism is inclusive growth."

He doesn’t need to start from scratch. There are many just shy of complete. Elect himself mayor and dole $$$$$$ out of his own pocket for the freeloaders.
Mark Levin on equity. 1/26/21. Cut one. Go!
On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, equality has now evolved into equity and President Biden will mention it often, but he rarely mentions the word freedom. One can have equity in poverty but that’s not helpful. Constitutional amendments and the civil rights movement paved the way for equality for minorities under the law and the issue of equity is a farce. The denial of school choice in communities of color is the simplest test to prove what Biden or any other Democrat truly care about, the education of kids in urban areas or teachers’ unions. Then, Marxism seeks to eliminate history, the founding, and eventually all Americanism. The identity politics movement upsets genuine Marxists who argue that all things relate to materialism, not to mention that Karl Marx was a racist. This is why Marxists reject the concept of distinction and individuality so that all people will focus on the all-provident central government, the state. The goal must be to treat individuals as human beings not as part of a group, caste, or class as Marx suggests. Groupthink and bigotry promote government power to make decisions on race or sex, this gives the government power they must not have.

Good luck with that.
I predict this Woke city will be a huge failure.
He’s a little late...Seattle and Portland have been around for quite a while...
Cult leader in the making
What’s the over-under on when they revert to cannibalism?
What he’s talking about is “pure” communism, the kind that Commies say is “the way it’s supposed to work”.
Except that it never does.
Need demographic stats...
Good luck with that. You’re always going to have to deal with the “taker” class. They will not want to produce or share.
Who is going to do the work? Too many poets and rappers.
Oh, brother. It's inclusive poverty.
Still, it sounds like a great idea to me. I'm urging all my liberal neighbors to pull up stakes and migrate there. And stay. Everybody wins. More or less.
LOL! Have at it!
Nah. I want it to succeed. So basically it’s a city run by fags, dwelled by immigrants who refuse to speak English, black who hate whitey who also steal without repercussion, no cops, and everyone calls each other by androgynous surnames.
Go right ahead. Hopefully they’ll drain my city of leftards because we have too many of these pukes.
No, we need it to be a huge early success!
Get all the Woke we can to go there … and then cut off the food, power, water gas and block aid them in by land and air so none can get out.
Then wait a year.
Sounds like a James Bond 007 villian.
A billionaire wants to create a more equitable world. LOL
Um, this was already tried in the 1900s. It was called the New Harmony experiment. But yeah, with Socialists/Communists it’s always going to work this time, right?
