Paving over entire ecosystems to create the perfect urban utopia. How about fixing and building up already existing cities? A lot of space in cities goes to waste as parking lots, golf courses, and shopping centers/malls. If those old cities are dirty, how about cleaning them up? In fact a lot of old warehouses and empty office towers can be reutilized as housing too.

Californian HOAs and NIMBYs are too self centered to ever allow change for the better so building a city from the ground up may be the only thing possible

They've got dying cities like San Francisco but they want to build a "new" one. This is nothing more than pure greed by developers.

San Francisco has undergone several metamorphic phases in modern history. Just like any other international metropolis city, they are constantly changing and evolving. San Francisco has endured the 7.9 (Mw) earthquake of 1906, so it’ll be fine. Plus, land valuation in the San Francisco area are one of the most highly-priced in this country. So a project similar in this news report, just doesn’t seem feasible; especially if they plan on building “affordable” housing within their project. 🤔😅

What I'm hoping is that people within California leave other cities and go to this one to reduce pressure on housing demand. If people are coming from areas that don't depend on water from the Colorado river then the water argument does make sense. If people are already using that water then the demand on that water won't change.

There are very few white people in Solano County and the Bay Area as a whole, so you really don’t know what you’re talking about.

@@Buckseed Agreed. Fremont and Milpitas are hideous. Even Oakland has more going for it than San Jose. But at least San Jose has a hockey team, the 49ers, a decent art museum, is close to the ocean beaches and has better restaurants than Sacramento. It also has cool neighborhoods like Willow Glen, Saratoga, Los Gatos and Los Altos. Sacramento may become a really great place to live in 30-40 years, but right now it doesn't have a lot to recommend it other than its close proximity to Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. It comes down to personal preference. I'm a native Californian and prefer more built up urban areas like LA and SF. Other people like the Valley because it's warmer, cheaper, is more relaxed and has more conservative politics than the rest of the state.

Do they think they will not be using immigrant labor to build? Do they think that homes won’t sell to the highest bidder? And if they do sell to below market rate people, who will those fortunate few be? When the tech industry first came to the Bay Area they said they were “saving the world”.

Some land acknowledgment of indigenous spaces, rewildering lands could help to stand against climate change. California has been such an inspiration worldwide, some necessary climate change adaptation is needed and maybe the solution isn't into making new sustainable spaces but by having a socially sustainable transition.
