People are quoting sci-fi examples but they have been tried (and many failed) in the past. They are cities built, owned and operated by a corporation like Ford with Fordlandia in Brazil. Rent? Shops? All company-run.

As for Disney and DeSantis fighting it out over each other’s bullshit and the special district, “let them fight” comes to mind.
Company Towns on a larger scale
