50,000 people is not a city.

I figure there will be some argument half way through the building process. The money will run out and people will behave badly. The whole thing will be one of those ruins that never gets built, just sits in the desert while the litigation slowly waddles alone using up every last cent of the billionaires money on lawyers who never really want to come to a conclusion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_House_(Glen_Ellen,_California)

In an essay called "The House Beautiful", written in 1906 and published in his 1909 book Revolution and Other Essays, London described his ideal "dream house". He wrote that "Utility and beauty must be indissolubly wedded" and said the house must be "honest in construction, material and appearance". He described modern bathrooms, spacious and well-appointed servant's quarters, easy cleaning and maintenance, good ventilation and ample fireplaces. He predicted that he would build his dream house in seven to ten years.[

Wolf House was a 26-room mansion in Glen Ellen, California, built by novelist Jack London ...burned on August 22, 1913, shortly before the Londons were planning to move in.

Jack London believed in socialism too... The problem was workers who cared about the quality of their work left his project leaving socialists who totally ripped London off and created a nightmare of high costs and low quality. Marc Lore’s utopian city will suffer the same fate if he allows workers to 'work according to their ability and to take according to their needs. Sick incentives systems have their own 'rewards'...
