I was running with the shantytown line just to be a pain. I dont hate the idea. I actually think it would be cool if you changed the "DIY/bring your own shelter" to a rehab existing structure and used the program as part of a city program to clean up decrepit neighborhoods.

The benefit of greenfield is not being part of a current political system. There is almost always a political/demographic/cultural reason someplace becomes Detroit; it's not in a vacuum. I'm pretty sure I could go to counties in Central WA or parts of TX and get an almost Disneyworld level of autonomy, being allowed to run local utilities, sheriff, ems, etc. if it got to that scale, with only minimal county and some state/federal oversight. I have no faith Oakland or Detroit would leave a high-net-worth enclave alone.
