Former President Donald Trump on Friday announced a plan for a prospective second term through which the U.S. would develop new cities and bolster living standards nationwide.
"Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living," he declared in a policy video.
"Almost one-third of the landmass of the United States is owned by the federal government," he said. "With just a fraction of that land... we should hold a contest to charter up to ten new cities and award them to the best proposals for development."
"These freedom cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hardworking families, a new shot at homeownership, and in fact the American Dream."
He further called for the development of vertical takeoff and landing vehicles for families and individuals.
"These breakthroughs can transform commerce, bring a giant infusion of wealth into rural America, and connect families in our country in new ways," he said. "We will turn forgotten communities into hives of industry, producing the goods we will no longer import from China."

15 minute cities, renamed?
It sounds exactly the opposite to me. A big, bold, innovative proposal to handle the 330 million and growing population with clean, safe living, good housing and good jobs.
And then Trump stepped into the particle accelerator and vanished. Now he leaps from person to person, setting right what things went wrong
Yes. We need to be as autonomous as possible. That’s what leaving the old world and pioneering was all about.
Trump thinks big and outside the box. I like that.
Me too.
Can you imagine if he said every one of these new cities would be green.
Need to open up the land for farmers and ranchers, mining, drilling.
Our country needs to focus on the producers, and make more producers. All the Oligarchs that have bought up good farm and ranchland, bought all the food mills and seed F’kers need to be de-monopolized for NATIONAL SECURITY.
Me Three!
Just the opposite.
Trump, as usual, thinking big and outside the box!
Exactly. These cities have had various names, Zuckerberg calls his proposed ones Facebook cities, but the cities all have a common theme - each one is singularly owned by someone from the billionaire class, verses the American model of individual homeowners. Whoever the proprietor is, basically owns the citizens living there.
He’s brilliant. 5D chess.
And old, horrible, concept, actually. A way for select billionaires to exert more control over the populace, as only they can setup and manage such an integrated ecosystem. Or worse case, expect the government to set it all up and operate it.

lol .
sure .
after five losses in a row.
retire toxic wonder .
The Federal government owns too much land. This will turn a small portion of it back to private property that American citizens could buy and live. I saw nothing in his proposal about “living for free.”
The WEF wants the opposite of that. Federal ownership and no private ownership.
“…we should hold a contest to charter up to ten new cities and award them to the best proposals for development.“
Or, we could just homestead the land and let the citizens figure out how to build their homes.
This proposal reeks of potential corruption. And the result won’t be affordable housing.
And where is going to build this stuff? The Utah desert? Yosemite?
More wins than you’ll ever have. 🤣🤣🤣
He’s been reading my posts. I assume a “freedom city” would be a place where taxes are reduced and businesses and people are free from bloated government and especially, heavy regulation.
One thing America will need for sure when our bloated, expensive medical system collapses - medical “free trade zones” - where doctors and hospitals within the zone are not subject to 3rd party payment, have low taxes, can import the cheapest medicines they choose, and live free of state/fed regulators.
