How did that all work out?
Looks like all white people and none look like perverts.
"'California Forever' founder Jan Sramek unveils first renderings for utopian city near San Francisco and boasts it will feature better schools, safer streets, and less homelessness [??? emphasis added]"
The wires are crossed already. With all due respect to the homeless, I don't associate utopia with having homeless people.
Also, since California's schools evidently indoctrinate, as opposed to educate, project leaders are going to have to go out of state to find the community leaders needed to make this utopia work imo.
And even then, it still won't be a utopia, just not as bad as the rest of California.
I will be glad to be proven wrong on my pessimism.
Inner city ferals are just itching for their new source of looting to be built. After all he didn’t say increased security ... those reparations gotta come from someone.
Let’s play spot the inner city feral, the Afro, the guy in all black with the hoodie up, sport the MS-13 gang banger. Oh, and spot the policeman ...
Have planned cities ever worked out as expected?
What ever happened with Columbia, Maryland, or Reston, Virginia, or Celebration, Florida, or Kentlands, Maryland?
All of those are planned cities or suburbs. Did they work out they way the planners anticipated?
This whole thing is incredibly weird.
The least crazy explanation is that Sramek just decided to fleece his neighbors in Atherton and the denizens of Sand Hill Road with this cockeyed scheme.
The version he’s actually selling reminds me of Marc Lore’s “Telosa” scheme out in the desert somewhere, but just barely close enough to the SF bay area that Silcon Valley’s hordes of H1-B engineers might be willing to stay there.
One thing missing from this piece is that the location is the one remaining area nearish to the bay that remains culturally closer to the central valley than “cosmopolitan” San Francisco. The only thing that’s certain at this point is that bit of cultural stability will be destroyed. Should be interesting to see how this develops though. Kind of like watching a train wreck unfold. Horrifying, but impossible to look away.
Will I be invited?
Yea, they won’t let the homeless and illegatl immigrants in, and they’ll stll consider themselves “Liberals”.
THE ONLY way their utopian plan will work and come anywhere near their hopes is if the whole entire “city” is actually a private corportion, and incorporated as such. “Buying” property will be more like buying a 99 year lease from the corporation that will actually own all the land. The “police” will work for that corporation and impose the rules made by the corporation. They’ll try to find someway to have resident representatives on the board of the private company but will not do so to an extent that the corporation will lose control.
***better schools, safer streets, and less homelessness***
So, what are they going to do to keep the rif-raf out? Build a wall? Armed guards on the gates? ID checks before entry or leaving?
They brought in the solar panels on donkeys.
That looks like a paint-by-numbers picture.
Years ago, when the awful stories began coming out about the homeless encampments, I postulated that someone was deliberately allowing this to happen in order to bring down property values in SF. Looks like I was right.

where are all the homeless, drug-users, drag queens and illegal aliens?
This guy is a MORON to build this in California!
And very, very high taxes....
Go buy Vallejo CA for a lot less and do it there. Prove that you’re smart.
If it is a City wouldn’t it need to follow the same laws as San Francisco which is causing all the issues? So it must be private where it can exclude undesirables..... (hold on I’m laughing so hard at the thought of Libs excluding anyone...) and control everything. I have always thought this was about water rights, after all they purchased farms. So I guess we shall see..
