    People have tried to build Utopian communities before. And it has always worked, every single time. No issues. That's why I support this.

      To be fair, just because other people haven’t been able to succeed doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. You should look at why things succeeded/failed and figure out the exact problem and the best way to solve it.

      That being said, I don’t think they’re building a city that would solve problems for humanity. I believe they’re a bunch of billionaires who don’t want to live with us plebs and want to build Elysium.

        I figured Billionaire Refuge would be built on an island like New Zealand.

        Although, if the book World War Z is anything to go by, their little utopia will be overrun by hordes of hungry climate refugees.

    Another "Galt's Gulch" like roughly the dozen that came before it. Will this one even start getting built before someone runs off with the money? debord-tired

    John Spartan you have been fined 1 credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute.

    How long before they ban "bad language, chocolate, gasoline, uneducational toys, and anything spicy."

    Public transportation here while pushing for robot taxis, Tesla loops, elsewhere and high speed rail nowhere.
