woud this be like HN but a city? Can't say or do fun things that aren't "adding value" or engage in discourse with an unpopular view unless you get shadow-banned (they throttle so much, I can't have a discourse if more than 2-3 people reply to anything I post here lol). The goal is to add value, to protect value which means maintain appearances and orderliness and conformity so that the sensibilities of the elite are guarded and the majority of the desirables come and stay.
Ugh, at least there will be a lot smart and kind people there? And a lot of niche cities like austin, portland, seattle and such are already very tribal like this? But too much like living in a billionaire's mansion for my taste.
There could be a far worse group to start a city. I think this is a net benefit for CA, more housing and infra is always good and I am glad more people will find a place they belong at.
My only problem with this would be if they plan on building a lot of short or single family housing. More tall multi family housing will improve the overlall situation.
