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.
Lol jokes on them. My Norwegian visa is already being processed so good luck america. Lol
Let me out!!!
I don’t have european family, so I would have to get accepted on my own merit. I think maybe I can learn spanish and get into spain by working in cybersecurity or some tech thing ig 😮💨
If you cook and clean I can marry you to help you get French citizenship 👌
Im too puppypilled to cook and clean
Do you at least give back scratches?
Hehehe, sure!
Yes another way is to move to countries like Italy, Spain etc and once you become EU citizen then move to norway
Lykke til! :)
Takk :)
How can a regular joe like myself get a Norwegian visa???
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.
It’s not fiction, just anticipation.
In 2017, Flannery Associates pitched an idea to turn the Solano County land into a walkable city powered by clean energy and housing tens of thousands of residents
Fuck it. I’m excited. We have so much demand for housing in this country, I don’t even care if its a dystopian cyberpunk town anymore. Just give me a healthy place to live.

Would be nice, but sadly most real life examples of a walkable, human scale environment are either prohibitively expensive to live in, or inhabited by rich folks ☹️
Given that this is being bankrolled by them, i’m curious to see what restrictions they’ll apply, if any.
I wish a company would build and oversaturate the market with walkable, human scale areas, to force prices down across the board… but that’s beyond wishful thinking lol
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.
This place is down the road from 2 major cities and several small towns. People already wanna be in this area. Even immigrant workers would have social mobility here, they could change jobs to working on vineyards, working in tech, or apply for nearby schools.
A HOA for rich people. How exciting.
So…an HOA?
Sounds like a sitcom in the making. I can just imagine Buffet bitching at Bezos over the height of his grass
We should let them build this and then build high speed rail lines directly through the richest, whitest neighborhood to make up for all the 20th century’s city planning decisions.
And before you wanna have principled or reasonable opposition to my plan, think about how funny it would be to eminent domain the investors’ luxury condo building(s). America needs a good laugh sometimes too.
Why barricade in Monaco when you can bring Monaco to barricade here?
OMG, Now I’m sure it will become Night City
