Tech workers in San Francisco plan to create a square-mile downtown 'commune' that allows people to 'live, eat and work' all within a 15-minute walk A utopia-like space is set to be launched on March 11 in downtown San Francisco City Campus was created by four community builders' It is supposed to have everything that people need within a 15-minute walk

Tech workers in San Francisco have planned to create a downtown 'commune' that will allow people to 'live, eat and work' all within a 15-minute walk.

Set to be launched on May 11, City Campus, a nonprofit, plans to create a one-square-mile 'campus' in the Hayes, Alamo and Duboce neighborhoods. The exact location of City Campus has not yet been established.

According to the nonprofit's website, the goals of the new urban space is for people to 'find and pursue you life's work, meet inspiring collaborators, live near friends, raise kids in community, do focused work and engage in civic and social life.'

The plan was created by four 'community builders', Patricia Mou, Thomas Schulz, Jason Benn and Adi Melamed.

'The synergy of bumping into people that are working on or doing the same stuff creates this very positive cycle,' Schulz told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Some of the places expected to make up the utopia-like community are communal cafeterias, late-night cafes, civic spaces, debate halls, community experiences, 'pluralistic and secular spiritual spaces,' 'multi-purpose co-working spaces,' and 'mixed-use daycares,'

'It’s finding everything you need and everyone you love within a 15 minute walk.' Benn said.

As Archie Bunker said, “People who live in communes are Communists!”

I’m having this vision:
Fires in barrels...
Blowing garbage...
Burning tires...

Or will it have a secure gated border wall?

Any decent city downtown has anything you need

And yet, i would not choose to live there like a caged rat.

I have and had a great, great time. Don’t even want to go visit today.

[9YearLurker]

I’m not seeing a lot of “work” there.

There are a lot of hills in San Francisco. Duboce Triangle is one of the flatter areas.

--- "I suspect there is WEF central planning supporters behind the push for this 'utopia'."

Schmidt, once upon a time of Google, finances in part Benn, according to his BS website. But the whole is a scam, looking for 1) donations, 2) subscribers and 3) investors.

City Campus Financing How to donate
We're a 501c3 and your donations are tax-deductible. To donate, send a wire to:
Routing #: 091311229
Account #: 202471468427
Address: 651 North Broad Street, Suite 201 Middletown, OH 45042

A Google maps search for that address: City Campus "funding" address At or near the intersection of Broad and Tytus

The "donations" address seems very bogus. And why Ohio for this "utopia" group in San Francisco? It is far more likely these kids are playing the game of luring in money, in part to pay themselves, as to all tax-exempt entities. Profit from the suckers. Call it "Utopia."

U-topia is two words, the Greeks telling us for millennia there is "no place." A look to the graphics at the various links is evidence thereto.

By the way, their fuding page shows that, after a couple of months, they have gotten "$380 raised of $50,000 goal." See: City Campus Fund "gofundme" page

Scam.

Fruit and insects will be harvested from all those trees bonus:

The conceptualizers:

A GoFundMe page called 'Help us Launch the City Campus Fund' was
created to accept donations. As of Tuesday evening, $380 has been
raised.

Don’t they have that already? The neighborhood is called “Step Over the Homeless Druggie”.

[Texas Fossil]

I will never live in Manhattan.

I’m native Texan, some ancestors were born in the Republic of Texas.

I’ve lived in NM and OK also. Traveled many states during my almost 40 years in the wholesale hardware business.

My family has owned/operated farms in this county since 1889, county was established in 1885. I moved back home in 1995 (left in 1971). They will bury me here. I am 76, but in very good health.

Driving down property values so that elite techies can live in a bubble of their own making. How will they keep the crime and riff raff out? That should be interesting. Otherwise they will be sitting ducks.

[Organic Panic]

They can get the same at Folsom prison. Everything is within walking distance.

[9YearLurker]

There are. But they’re good for you!
