“We should be building new cities.”
The problems with the old city are not primarily physical infrastructure (though it is partly that).
The biggest problem is the people who live there and the legal system that encourages them to behave badly.
Building a new city does not deal with that old problem.
>> Many affluent people are quite talented.
And vastly many more are not, at these sort of things. Oh, they can write papers and speculate in finance and such... Should I listen to you, or believe my own lyin’ eyes?
Jackson Hole, WY is an example of a dream city for the elites.
They live in luxury while the peons get to commute from the neighboring state over a (huge) mountain.
“I wish Freepers were less fuddy duddy. As a country we are stuck in the past.”
No, the fuddy-duddys are the uneducated masses the communist public school system failed to educate.
Those that fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.
Are they trying to build one of those 15 minute cities prisons they want to put us all in?
Here’s a writeup of the 36yo who is “spearheading” this at age 22:
“Enter Jan Sramek, a 22-year-old (!) Czech Republic–born, London-based trader for Goldman Sachs. At an age when most people in finance are futzing with Excel spreadsheets, and most other people his age are sitting around watching Days and taking bong hits, Sramek is entrusted to run millions of dollars in trades. This week, he was named in the Financial News list of 100 Rising Stars, a kind of 40-under-40 list for the continental financier set. He’s the youngest-ever person to make the the list (and that’s counting his nomination last year, when he was still at the London School of Economics), and his résumé is already exhausting.”
Oh, and of course he’s a Soros-funded guy too.

will they get MAGIC DEMOCRAT PERMITS that let them do what ever is needed to do???
or will it die in a sea of redtape like a regular person...
all backed by the CCP.
they are already harvesting the ingredients in Canada with assisted harvesting of poor, homeless and depressed children.
"Silicon Valley elites revealed as buyers of $800m of land to build utopian city"
This "private" project appears to be an example of the 10th Amendment power of the people to do the kind of socioeconomic experimenting that Justice Louis Brandeis was referring to with his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor.
[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
As a side note to this "utopian" project concerning EVs, EV experimentation should have been done scientifically by starting out on a small scale, and then carefully expanding as mistakes were identified and corrected, instead of the bully Democratic, RINO / manufacturing complex trying to strong-arm their politically correct junk science EVs on the entire population.
In fact, the corrupt Biden Administration arguably needed to start experimenting with EVs to deliver the mail at this “utopian” city experiment, federal dollars for any purpose other than delivering the mail and militia training unconstitutional imo.
After all, we either have a constitutionally very limited power federal government or we don't.
what is clean energy? Redundant I suppose. There’s always waste and will they use their own grid?
It's not "stuck in the past" as much as it is an awareness that cities have not served their purpose for more than a century. Other than possibly being a congregating point for health care, there is no reason for a city to exist.
The only industries that operate in cities are Government and the Grievance Industry as shown over the last several decades.
The term ‘elites’ is a slam - it doesn’t apply to people who earned their wealth by effort and brains.
It’s a term used against Washingtoin DC incompetents who got their jos based on Kolor, Kink and Kin (wealthy daddy) A perfect example of a DC ‘elite’ is that drug addicted whore-monger shake down thug - Hunter Biden.
A gated ciry.
the Soylent Green Bus Company and Resort will handle any destitute homeless thieves.
Maybe a few defications on the street would really fit in
And let’s not forget to send ‘em a few busloads of illegals. Any leftist utopia has to sport the “sanctuary” label. Gotta have loud polka music being blasted in the middle of the night and lots of litter for added flavor.
with the new hover cars and crash voidance tech the wealthy will never see the ground except in videos and no homeless on the upper floors
“the goal was to build a walkable, clean-energy city an hour north of Silicon Valley”
uh, yeah, right ... if true, they can knock themselves out if it gives them pleasure ...
