I was skeptical and now even more so after hearing that they tried to sue the landowners who don't want to sell for supposedly "holding out" to increase their land's market value. Ridiculous. If they don't want to sell California Forever is just going to sue them? Is that what I'm hearing? Billionaire suing people who just want to live peaceably farming their land. I was born and raised in the Bay and totally against this.
-
I think sueing landowners is disgusting. They have a right to their land, and their home.
-
How about turning around downtown Los Angeles and spending those billions renovating existing “walkable” neighborhoods. No, instead eat up the farmland and ruin the actual rural areas. Not a good design plan. The West Village and all of the other walkable neighborhoods exist because they are in metropolitan areas and it all feeds off each other. Creating a city in the middle of nowhere just makes it a place you have to still drive to get anywhere else. It will end up being a weekend getaway for rich people.
-
Let's fix the cities we already have. Sigh.
-
California already has several cities built in the middle of nowhere and the rents are getting unsustainably high.
-
Fix the cities that need help. Stop taking the farmland
-
That land looks beautiful as is. Maybe just leave it alone.
-
I don't believe it will be affordable. A. It's in California. Anytime something nice is built, people who need it never get it. Rich people do. B.Land is expensive. That is the number one reason, everything is so expensive. I don't believe it. Rich people are trying to get richer.
-
Wow...world's largest HOA.
-
There's so many dying cities that could use infusion and innovation. Where the land is already there. Without taking natural farmland and migration sanctuary from established protections, or endangered migration species. Just because someone can boost they have a bright ideas. While damaging the eco system.
-
Nothing new here…I see future urban sprawl. I get we need more housing across the board but developers are critically concerned with their bottom line and this guy is a master at convincing those who will listen he’s doing it “for the better good.”
-
Sparing no expense and suing people to get their land is two different things!! That’s completely wrong! It’s always the same with billionaires. If we can’t buy it, we’ll just take it!😡
-
Don't sell. Let them redevelop the cities that already exist.
-
How will they keep it “affordable” without a 30 year waitlist?
-
When a non planning tech elite with no knowledge of logistics and resource allocation and accessibility of the area says “I have a haunch this is a good spot” should tell us all of how much of a bad idea this is.
-
The 80 is already too congested. This is craziness!
-
How about putting some money into revitalizing old cities like Detroit.
-
Forget it! Build one here in Las Vegas!
-
This project reminds me of Disney's planned city call "celebration" in Florida. The city is celebration is so expensive. Disney too said that it will be an affordable community where the average citizen could afford a house. It's obviously clear that only the rich could afford to live in Celebration, Florida.
-
If rich people build it don't be surprised it's affordability would only be for the rich as well.
