its just gonna be parking lots and strip malls like everywhere else in america
I’m gonna guess you’ve never been to America?
Looks like artists renderings of Palo Alto lmao
Hopefully they’ll at least reopen Antonio’s Nut House.
The project would also be inconsistent with Solano County’s Orderly Growth Measure, which requires that all urban development take place within city boundaries, rather than unincorporated parts of the county. California Forever says it supports the Orderly Growth Measure, but will ask voters to support the development.
“The Orderly Growth Measure is the right approach to safeguard Solano, including our project, from sprawl and disorderly growth for many years to come,” the group said.
Lol they literally are looking to ignore a law and then go on to say they will use the law to protect the city they want to make in violation of the law.
I don’t see the giant dome meant to keep out climate change and peasant air…

We tried this already. California City is like the 3rd largest city in California. Planned cities mostly suck.
Uh? In contrast to what?
Stroads, as far as the eye can see.
Translation, please.
A high-speed road with many turnoffs, and lacking in safety features.
(I’m not defending libertarian dystopias, I just realized I might come off that way. Planning cities is not an all or nothing debate. There is a bit of nuance. And I’ll repeat, I’m not in favor of Techbro Celebration. My silly comment is misplaced.)
So… western Europe?
Having just returned from Western Europe… No.
So basically the libertarian version of Celebration, Florida.
No way that can go south.
Or the libertarian city in New Hampshire that ended with highly intelligent and motivated bears taking it over.
I love that story so much.
> techbros
Yeah. It will have gatling turrets and tesla coils.
So they just want a “private Mountain View”
IMHO, if someone wants to build desirable housing next to desirable employment, I’m all for it. CA desperately needs any damn housing it can get.
Challenge is getting companies to actually move into the spaces earmarked for them.
My area has gone all in on mandating that all new housing must: Be dense, but short (Max of 4 stories) Constructed with dedicated office and retail space
Ok cool, walkable… Except the companies aren’t moving into the retail or office space. Since they only get a useless amount of street side parking, they can’t really serve people outside walking distance reasonably. Meanwhile they can find a bigger spot a few miles down the road with parking to serve a bigger area. Serving a walkable community might be worth it if the apartments were high rise providing the requisite density to support such business. Once upon a time, business did subsist on that volume of customers, but nowadays businesses demand more efficiency…
I think these places will have the opposite problem.
The land is being purchased by heads of industry, not real estate investors who then have to lure business to the area. These people can just move parts of their business there and or strong arm the companies they invest in to move there.
Trick will encouraging people to be the first waves of tech folks to move to the area for work. The work will be there, but the communities / social life won’t be popping at first. People will also need to give up temperate Bay Area weather for hot ass Solano county.
Just don’t ask them if the city has “special rules regarding the age of consent”. I have not forgotten how techbros handled that the last time the topic came up and the ammounts of copium huffed afterwards. “Mental maturity is more then enough” was quite the statement from the cryprosphere
John Galtsville
decent but unoffensive marketing images. this early on, expect the final product to look nothing like this.
Seems like a very italian city
So New Tuscany.
