A mystery company backed by Silicon Valley billionaires has purchased tens of thousands of acres of land for more than $800 million to build a new city near San Francisco::A company called Flannery Associates has been buying up land in Solano County for up to $15,000 per acre, court documents show.
I would be excited about a well planned walkable good public transportation city during a housing crisis, but 100% of tech bro utopia ideas have been disappointments.
Wait…I thought Night City was fiction?
More like Cow City. Davis isn’t exactly vacation wonderland. Their claim to fame is pepper spraying the college kids in the face while sitting down.
I was thinking of Rapture.
I’m sure housing will be super affordable for all those service industry workers that will be needed to keep this place running. /s
Expect special visas for immigrant workers who will be effectively imprisoned there.
And an absolute social desert because no one else will want to be there.
If/when they build this, the local politics are going to be so unbelievably insufferable.
A HOA for rich people. How exciting.
Sounds like a sitcom in the making. I can just imagine Buffet bitching at Bezos over the height of his grass
