    Does this plan include affordable housing for the homeless? What are their projected home prices and rental costs?   How about water usage and availability?  What about long term infrastructure maintenance costs?

    Basically, it seems like a few Feudal Landowners wish to own a city.  Likely they will ask for tax abatements and bond issues by the local goobermints and CA state to finance the buildout.

    The idea of building a new sustainable city isn't new, we tried to get something like that going with SUN, just we didn't have any Billionaire backers. One thing seems important would be to locate the city in a spot with good resilience against climate change.  Solano county outside Frisco does not seem to qualify.
