It's exciting to see a new ambitious project like this. America definitely needs new cities to help with housing abd environmental problems. I have a few concerns though: Location: We need new cities in there north add climate change ramps up. Desert doesn't sound great. And new cities need to be built in low population states to balance out the Senate. Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas, WV would be best. Otherwise the country continues to become more dysfunctional. Up north there's underutilized Amtrak lines too. Local Transportation: autonomous cars are cool, but are still space inefficient compare to mass transit. A new city is an amazing opportunity to build mass transit more cheaply with cut-and-cover tunnels. You can also plan for commercial transportation with delivery tunnels and below ground docks. These are the kinds of things you can't easily add to an existing city and should be the focus. Regional Transportation: Where's the airport and how does it connect to the city? Will there be a central train station? How do carless residents reach regional attractions like state/national parks and recreation areas? Parks: It's nearly impossible to add large parks to a new city, but they immensely improve quality of life. A new city should be designed around large central parks and neighborhood parks. You also need to have a green belt surrounding the city to prevent sprawl. Density: SF density isn't it. SF is mostly a suburb west of Van Ness. Shoot for Paris. Industry: People need jobs. Where are the light industrial areas and how do they integrate with the city so they're not blighted pollution centers? Will they be transit connected so people don't need cars?
