On the bros trying to build cities in Solano and elsewhere:
“What seems to be happening is people really want to ‘stay in San Francisco,’ but they want to exit society. … They don’t want to have to deal with the complexity, the differences, the poverty, the needs, the caring for others that was always part of urban culture. They want to escape. They want their own currency, their own culture, their own people. And they wanted it to look like Disneyland.”
@skinnylatte alright, now interview the average large scale land owner in Northern California and let's see how divergent their polical beliefs really are from these developers. Or for that matter basically any enclave in the entire state where they believe the same shit but already have complete local control.
Or we could just let them build shit and tax the hell out of it and quit pretending any party involved here isn't utterly loathsome.
@skinnylatte if these dipshits were a real threat they wouldn't need to start their own city. And if they were meaningfully serious they'd probably leave the states.
It's just some uncharasmatic dipshits with too much money saying the same shit every rich asshole in this country believes being covered earnestly by a local press facing financial and relevancy issues.
@sqncs unfortunately where i now live there are plenty of them actively influencing the current and upcoming elections, trying to get 'progressive' judges and officials removed to replace with carceral 'hard on crime' puppets, so it is something i care about
