After all, those rural people and suburbanities are fascists who resist the new Soviet order.

We need to resettle them for their own good.

These obscenely rich people won’t give up their countryside and oceanside retreats.

They just want to keep the Little People from spoiling their private views.

That’s what its really all about.

If the US government confiscated the wealth of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans, it wouldn’t cover federal spending for even one year.

Where will they get $90 Trillion dollars from?

The world has only $30 Trillion dollars GDP.

These people are f*ckin’ insane.

The kind of money do to this on the scale they want doesn’t exist.

Its outlandish and only rich people could come up with nutty ideas like this one.

Only way to get the real value is by confiscating net worth. But not the net worth of the Davos attendees!

It’s a good thing these new denser cities won’t have any kind of heat island effect.

Oh wait.

If they built apartments for free, no one would come.

China has ghost cities full of gleaming apartments.

Which is the Davos’ crowd’s vision of urban living.

This would happen over 50 to 100 years I expect, they know there would be no way to fund it in less time than that
