Building an entirely new city from scratch in Northern California: an environmentally friendly way of providing more housing, according to some silicon valley types - eviltoast

Sure, why attempt to improve the climate resilience or affordable housing in the cities where millions of people already live, when you can just buy land upstate and get a whole new toy to play with? And why tell local, state or national government anything - they’ll only be supplying the land, water, sewerage, utilities & transport links. You pay your taxes, you deserve to get something back.

This is going to be one hell of a planning application. What’s the land use code for “feudal stronghold”?
