California Forever Website...

Flannery Associates, the company associated with land acquisitions near San Francisco, has unveiled a website for their ambitious project known as California Forever. The project, backed by substantial funding from wealthy tech leaders like Stripe CEO Patrick Collison and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, aims to build a new city in Solano County, California. The website presents an idealized vision of a green, walkable city by the bay, claiming to address the desires of residents for local jobs, safety, and walkability.

While the website makes vague commitments to preserve nearby agriculture and establish solar farms, it lacks specific details about the city's size, population, or long-term sustainability. It also hints at supporting homeownership through down-payment assistance but provides little concrete information. Flannery Associates' secretive acquisition of over 50,000 acres near an Air Force base in the region has raised concerns among local authorities and politicians, who question the company's intentions and its potential impact on the area.

The California Forever website features AI-generated images of the theoretical city, showcasing scenic landscapes with rolling hills, farms, and windmills. However, it does not offer substantial information about infrastructure, demographics, or economic viability. The site emphasizes plans to engage locals through surveys and advisory boards, but skepticism remains regarding the project's transparency and objectives.
