Guardian - The Silicon Valley elites who have been quietly buying up northern California farmland for several years have gone public with their vision for the utopian city they hope to build from scratch on 55,000 acres in Solano county.This week the group behind the effort, Flannery Associates, launched a website for the initiative and released a series of sunny renderings showing Mediterranean-style homes and walkable and bikeable neighborhoods. The sudden launch of a public campaign comes as the group, backed by a cohort of billionaire Silicon Valley investors, had faced growing criticism over their shadowy agenda.

I think this is great news. California is estimated to be short 3-4 million units now. In 2021 the SF Bay Area was short about 700,000 unit. The plan is to have another 440,000 units in the Bay Area by 2031. Every year San Francisco fails to meet its goal.
The reaction to this has been incredibly short sighted and mean spirited. We ought to be encouraging these people for trying to fix the problem.
The Dems running CA have been incredibly incompetent when it comes to housing. They've done other good stuff; but their record on housing is disgraceful.
