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.

How many of ‘em are Chinese ?
Are these “investors”a front for the ChiComs?
I checked the aerial view. The whole lower red area closest to the water is covered with wind turbines.
Where’s all the water they will need coming from?
They’ll really do communism the right way this time.
We can just refer to it as “The Target”
I wonder how many homeless, gangs and thugs they will provide space for?
How many billions in federal money do they want?
Thanks for the information, doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy.
when he was still at the London School of Economics
The LSE was founded by the Fabian Society as a socialist incubator. Never ever trust someone with an LSE background. Never.
You’re right about the EVs. Total lack of forethought or planning.
Thanks, I will look this up.
“In 2003, he won a scholarship from George Soros’s Open Society foundation to Cambridge. Later, he transferred to the London School of Economics to focus on finance.”
I guess it’s for those who can work remotely. They will probably have a small airport for their private jets for meetings.
Yes, the governor said they need worker’s housing. That’s what they think of the peons. $700 per family is what they think of the peons.
Another 15-minute city, like what will happen in Lahaina now that investors over there have cleared the riff raff?
