I felt like Amazon should do this with their new headquarters. I'm sure the cost is too high, but instead of making one of our crowded cities even worse they could try building a city/suburb. Build it 45 minutes outside of a current city so you could still rely on airports and other necessities until you could build your own. With global warming, I probably wouldn't have chosen Arizona though.

- justinv 9y agoI was thinking about this the other day at work (at Amazon) - there would be such an incredible array of opportunities by starting to build a city from scratch. I think it would be really different from cities that we know today and there would be a big opportunity to experiment with urban planning. But anyways - I doubt this is even minutely likely. Cool thought experiment nonetheless.
