Oh, "Starbase" is the name for the Boca Chica site.
Why is it a city.
- ronsor 1y agoIt has housing and a school. It's a city.
- ceejayoz 1y agoMany towns, villages, hamlets, etc. also have those.
- asadotzler 1y agoStarbase was made a city. It's not a town, village, or hamlet because it's been legally designated a city in Texas.
- ceejayoz 1y agoYes, we agree. The parent poster seems to think city is a de facto designation for a place with housing and schools; I'm noting that it isn't.
- Andrew_nenakhov 1y agoIt's a bit of an off-topic, but traditional settlement hierarchy was this: The settlement only has houses - it's a hamlet. The settlement has a church - it's a village. The settlement has a market - it's a town. The settlement has a cathedral - it's a city.

- senectus1 1y agodesignation of a city means they get a greater degree of autonomy. Its a way to manipulate the system to accelerator the plan. Smart thinking, but I suspect some aspect of this will be controversial.
