That part makes me think it could be a government agency using the corp as a front. Travis AFB is the most trafficked base in the country. So having such a large tract of land around a base of ~15k and trying to build a city has to have either a defense contract or ties with the pentagon.
Certainly a consideration, but I suspect they have a workaround for that as well. Something like 90% of actual fab work is in China and final 10% locally.
When the Mattelville Kenoughs went to the state championships after beating their rivals the Hasbro City Blasters? Yes, we were there, pink jerseys and all.
The reason there is not enough housing in America is you have to ask existing people if they want more. Stop.
Nobody is ever gonna say put in 150 condos in my backyard, but I don't have sympathy for those kind of problems. You should buy enough land for a whole city then you can keep people off it. But you can't tell them what to do with theirs. I've had this out on voat so nothing said will surprise me.
It's permit issues. And, zoning laws. It's not precisely asking permission. I would consider it jumping through hoops designed to prevent more than they allow.
I don't understand. Most new developments are designed with schools, and stores. I don't understand how this is different. Please let me know what has whooshed me.
For some reason I’m guessing China is involved, but the megacorp cities could be a fun new dystopia
Why not both?
I mean could San Mao be any worse than San Francisco?
Instead of faeces and needles, social credit enforced by cameras and facial ID.
Pick your dystopia.
My guess as well. Perhaps to circumvent the new chip laws.
Paying over market price and near a major air force base is interesting.

Yup, that's a possibility as well however I think in that case the state reps wouldn't be so concerned and probably on the take.
Certainly possible. The whole thing is just so nuts, but it makes for great conspiracy speculation. Definitely smells wrong.

It's a WEF 15 minute city.
Company towns were historically bad for the employees.
Will it still be under Californian control as then it doesn't matter who it belongs to, it'll be looted and full of shit a week after completion.
They better be building new roads and bridges to go along with this new mega city.

Not a mega city, a compact 15 minute city. All those acres of parks will come from bulldozing the current cities and shoving everyone in cages.
This is the WEF.

The reason we don't have enough housing is we have half the population of Somalia and Mexico inside our borders.
At current rates, several countries in South America will have entirely migrated to the US by 2050.
True.
I feel like totally unchecked amount of people coming in at millions a year has something to do with it too.
Point well taken.

In many places it is asking permission. The people who staff the water board are the NIMBYs. They just have an excuse.
Hellllloooooo Night City!
Could be chinks. I just had some business with a chink who lives in a recently bought mansion in that county.

Yay real life Cyberpunk
