If you're here for bank stuff, sorry. # Segments ## California Forever ### Remember Culdesac? Archive: http://archive.today/wlie1  ### This is Worse A bunch of Goldman Sachs bros and [[Epstein, Jeffrey]]'s good buddy Reid Hoffman have spent $800 million buying up 53,000 acres in northern California to build a "green utopia" city prototype.  ### What is California Forever? <iframe title="Tech billionaires want to build a new city in rural California" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MllsOx_IxQU?feature=oembed" height="113" width="200" style="aspect-ratio: 1.76991 / 1; width: 100%; height: 100%;" allowfullscreen="" allow="fullscreen"></iframe> ### Fortune Article Archive: <https://archive.ph/i0jFC>  > A Silicon Valley group backed by billionaires said it's acquired all the land it needs to build a utopian city in northern California, after quietly buying more properties in the past month. > > Flannery Associates, the company behind the California Forever project, acquired at least seven more land parcels totaling about 814 acres in Solano County in October, according to county records. The company now owns more than 53,000 acres in the area — after some parcels traded hands — where it plans to create a walkable, green community they say would generate thousands of jobs. > The investor group is led by Jan Sramek, a former Goldman Sachs trader, and backed by tech moguls like former Sequoia Capital Chairman Mike Moritz, LinkedIn co-founder [[Reid Hoffman]] and venture capitalist [[Marc Andreessen]]. ### The Pushback <iframe title="Solano County fires back at California Forever group that bought 50,000+ acres of land" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ucRcGLkV_PQ?feature=oembed" height="113" width="200" style="aspect-ratio: 1.76991 / 1; width: 100%; height: 100%;" allowfullscreen="" allow="fullscreen"></iframe> ### The Website Archive: <http://archive.today/RGQme> > California Forever was created to bring back the California Dream. We want to do that by building a new community, solar farms, and a greenbelt of agriculture and habitat in eastern Solano County. Doing so would bring thousands of good paying jobs, new paths to middle-class homeownership in safe, walkable neighborhoods, and a new source of clean power for every resident of Solano County. > > In our recent survey, 81% of Solano parents said that their kids won't have a future in their own communities. Our goal is to make sure that when that question is asked in 5 years, the vast majority of Solano parents say that their children are staying in Solano County, because everything they need to live a great life is right here.
