Silicon Valley elites revealed as buyers of $800m of land to build utopian city
The Guardian ^ | 08/26/2023 | Abené Clayton

Posted on 08/26/2023 8:02:45 AM PDT by Rusty0604

After weeks of local speculation, the purchasers of 55,000 acres of northern California land have been revealed. The group Flannery Associates – backed by a cohort of Silicon Valley investors – has quietly purchased $800m worth of agricultural and empty land, the New York Times has reported. Their goal is to build a utopian new town that will offer its thousands of residents reliable public transportation and urban living, all of which would operate using clean energy.

The land bought by the firm encircles Travis air force base in Fairfield, a city of about 120,000 residents and home to the Anheuser-Busch Co brewery and the Jelly Belly jelly bean factory.

Recently, Flannery has been meeting with local officials and representatives, according to the Times. It has also been sending out opinion polls to local residents to gauge their feelings on an initiative that could appear on Solano county voter’s ballots, according to the newspaper SF Gate.

“This project would include a new city with tens of thousands of new homes, a large solar energy farm, orchards with over a million new trees, and over ten thousand acres of new parks and open space,” a screenshot of the survey obtained by the newspaper reads.

The poll also asks if residents would support the project if it was placed in an area with “bad soil that only contributes 5% of the county’s agricultural production,”

Talk about a false premise proposed to defraud the public, 5% of countries agricultural production in one small area of California is not unproductive land. 20 such parcels represent 100% of American Agricultural production.

Liars, cheats, and swindlers trying to make a fortune off of imposing more tyranny while selling us out to global climbate change and foreign invaders.

Take a few such parcels out of production and Americans are starving, the other part of the agenda. Perhaps the could make a bug farm and a bugberger factory. Or just build a Soylent Green factory pushing this whole thing to its natural conclusion.

Well, let’s see, they’re destroying the utopian city of S.F as we speak. What, whey want to do it again somewhere else?

They will HAVE to block out areas for tent cities!
They’ll also have to give forty acres and a solar panel to all those with a certain skin shade, as reparations. And of course there are the payments to the native americans, whose land they stole.

Because equity! “Utopia” will be doomed to immersion in woke progressive sewage.

5% of the county’s agricultural production. But the real story is the creation of gated (walled) communities of haves, while the have-nots deal with the increasing crime problem. Two-tiered society, no middle class to cause political trouble.

Lex Luthor’s plan also started with buying cheap land in CA!

The quickest way to screw up a beautiful Utopia is to start selling parcels of it to rich idiots with lots of money. “Yellowstone” may be a popular TV show but most of its fans missed the point.

The tent cities with roving bands of thieves emptying store shelves will make a nice addition to this Utopian city.

I hear Gregg Abbott has plenty of buses lined up fill the tent cities

I take comfort in the fact that WFB was infamous for typos in his email traffic. If one of the best writers in recent memorty can do that than so can I.

The funny thing is, the gates in the walls will swing open at 0700 every day, and the population of the community will double as the “have-not-so-much’s” flood in to trim the hedges, mow the lawns, remove the trash, clean the streets, wash the solar panels, repair the plumbing, wire the Tesla chargers, clean the windows...

...because the wankers that live there can do none of those things.

Then at 1800, the temporary workerbee swarms will leave through the gates, which will be locked behind them. And the workerbees, who now know more about the residents than they know about themselves, will share all that they have learned...
