This research is a waste of resources unless most basic needs of citizens becomes free as in freedom and price. For that to happen, global retail franchises, as well as the major players in countless other service industries are going to have to be rejected by our newly realized cities. They should be rejected unless they are willing to donate extremely large proceeds and services to the city. If they comply, they still arent allowed to come to our city, but we as citizens will purchase from them online. We will purchase the things we want from them and have them delivered. We wont have to purchase basic needs. They will be provided to us by the corporations who want us as customers. One of endless examples: Im definitely ordering my mega awesome television from walmart, best buy, costco, etc. because they pay for our electricity and daycare. This is what they should provide us in order to do business with our city: Energy, water, trash, recycling, food centers, construction materials, police, fire, EDUCATION, housing, healthcare, EDUCATION, farm and agriculture equipment, construction equipment, manufacturing equipment, internet and basic mobile phone service, and housing for newer citizens who dont yet own their residence. Note: everyone should own their place, tax free without the lifelong cruft of mortgage and property value flux. Im serious. If you want us to buy from you, you buy from us, or you give to us. The people will own and run such a new city. Not the corporations that are ruining human values, health, and economies for cities all over this earth. The people will have to have the best hand, and the buy-in to our game is extremely high. In addition to this concept, we wouldnt have a mayor, chief of police, or other forms of a single person running any one show. Even schools shouldnt have a single Principal, but more like 3 to 5 awesome 'lead educators'. Totally aside, how do you keep out the drug cartels? How do you instill an attitude of giving a shit about your neighbor? How do you create resources that eliminate the need for acts of crime and violence for less privelaged to 'make it'?

> This research is a waste of resources unless... Your vision of anti corporatism will be hard to realize in today's developed world, but this is the exact kind of use of resources that humanity needs. Would you rather YC reinvest their profits into making more money like most business do? Or invest their profits into answering questions about humanity and its potential future that are unanswered? Also, would you really want our education to be sponsored and paid for by Coca Cola? If we take into account science fiction, humans could establish a colony on another planet. This would be considered a city and the research could answer some interesting questions. Flying out a bunch of humans in a spaceship that takes multiple generations to reach its destination would be considered a traveling space city. This research could answer some interesting questions.

  My so called vision is not based on notions of anti corporatism. It is a method to actually fund such a massive undertaking of a new city, without turning it into a huge shopping mall dystopia owned by the top 1%. Im sure the research will confirm that its a bad idea to put walmart, mcdonalds, and starbucks on a spaceship. The research will also confirm that if xyz company wants a spot on this (spaceship city?) The price will be the same as in my vision. To conclude, it is a waste of resources if they dont realize the need for distributed power, wealth, and health amongst the people. A huge waste. But its not wasteful if we colonize space one day..youre kidding me.
