A consortium of Silicon Valley elites, led by the group Flannery Associates, has acquired 55,000 acres of land in northern California for $800 million with the ambitious goal of constructing a sustainable, utopian city.
by Breitbart News editor in chief Alex Marlow; Marc Andreessen, an investor and software developer; Patrick and John Collison, the sibling co-founders of the payment processor Stripe; and entrepreneurs Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman.
Flannery Associates has been acquiring farmland and vacant plots for the past five years but has only recently begun interacting with local officials and residents. It has been reported that Flannery has acquired land from local farmers, paying them prices significantly higher than the market value. As a result, Flannery has become the largest landowner in Solano county. The land acquired by the group surrounds Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, a city of about 120,000 residents.
The group has also been sending out opinion polls to local residents to determine their feelings on an initiative that could appear on Solano county voter’s ballots. “This project would include a new city with tens of thousands of new homes, a large solar energy farm, orchards with over a million new trees, and over ten thousand acres of new parks and open space,” reads a screenshot of the survey obtained byDespite the grand vision, Flannery Associates faces a multitude of challenges.
