The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly grey
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay . . .

Billionaire Marc Lore is singing a different tune, according to this CNN report, and it starts with "The cleanliness of Tokyo, the diversity of New York and the social services of Stockholm . . ."

"Plans for $400-billion new city in the American desert unveiled"

Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Bucharest studio. (CNN.)

It's not a long article.

You're gonna need water, water that's available from the environment. You need to be close to truck or rail transport lines. How you gonna make that work out West in arid conditions with the limitations we're faving now and going to face in higher degrees doing forward? And then there are regulatory bodies to deal with.

Just those point to the Red states 9f the Southeastern Seaboard region. Maybe Missouri too.

The only saving grace is that he very probably won't be around much longer.

He's not even perceptive enough to realize the reasons why I created this Topic.

It all comes down to a recreation for me, when I'm here. In this case, nothing more than a small accessory to a mug of fresh brewed covfefe coffee and TV in the background.

He can't be Great Again until he logs himself out and focuses on something else, because when he's here, he doesn't amount to s*it.

It would just be trading one Marxist city for another.



“One of the primary motivators here to do this was . . . testing a new model for society,” says Lore, 50. “What we're calling ‘equitism,’ which is capitalism reimagined.”

(NO...that's actually called COMMUNISM. It isn't a "new model" and trying to rename it doesn't change what it is.)

Aside from the jaw dropping cognitive disconnect, (or just LYING), of an "investor" that got very rich benefiting from capitalism telling everyone about it's "significant flaws", history is littered with these kind of failed Marxist / Utopian ideas.

Leftists NEVER LEARN from past failures but are determined to repeat them over and over.

It's always the same bullshit of a "bright shining city / society of tomorrow" that magically solves all of humanities' problems, real and imagined.

All you have to do is give up some of your rights and freedoms.....Oh and that "pesky" United States Constitution along with them....
