People form governments all the damn time, most often municipal corporations.
I’m not a fan of this new wave of interest in company towns, but the worst aspect of them was company scrip and that was outlawed by Congress. Still, cities are an emergent phenomenon, cities that you can call cities and not just cities on paper. You can’t plant a few skyscrapers in the ground and call it a day.
- ghaff 6y agoEven if it technically is, some apartment buildings, offices, restaurants, and stores in an existing industrial park is not a city in any meaningful sense. And throwing a dart at a map of Nevada and building a city for 100K people on the premise of "if you build it they will come" would almost certainly be a hilarious failure even if some billionaire felt his cash burning a hole in his pocket.
- SllX 6y agoI agree.
