A mystery company backed by Silicon Valley billionaires has purchased tens of thousands of acres of land for more than $800 million to build a new city near San Francisco::A company called Flannery Associates has been buying up land in Solano County for up to $15,000 per acre, court documents show.
Wait…I thought Night City was fiction?
More like Cow City. Davis isn’t exactly vacation wonderland. Their claim to fame is pepper spraying the college kids in the face while sitting down.
I was thinking of Rapture.
I’m sure housing will be super affordable for all those service industry workers that will be needed to keep this place running. /s
If/when they build this, the local politics are going to be so unbelievably insufferable.
Holy shit Elon will run for mayor
In 2017, Flannery Associates pitched an idea to turn the Solano County land into a walkable city powered by clean energy and housing tens of thousands of residents
Fuck it. I’m excited. We have so much demand for housing in this country, I don’t even care if its a dystopian cyberpunk town anymore. Just give me a healthy place to live.

Funny that before the identities of the buyers was known, everyone’s go to theory was that it was a nefarious CCP plot.
Solano county is north east of SF, not north west like the article claims.
We should let them build this and then build high speed rail lines directly through the richest, whitest neighborhood to make up for all the 20th century’s city planning decisions.
And before you wanna have principled or reasonable opposition to my plan, think about how funny it would be to eminent domain the investors’ luxury condo building(s). America needs a good laugh sometimes too.
California City 2.0 baby!
Why barricade in Monaco when you can bring Monaco to barricade here?
