It will not be a utopia without low income housing and buses.

Not really

Look up the difference between utopia and eutopia. Utopia is a delusional fantasy that doesn’t exist.

Does 'walkable' mean they'll build sidewalks between the tents?

Tents are too good to waste on the serfs.  They will be provided with hovels made of mud.  

Remember, this is a utopia for billionaires.  Can't have the plebes getting any ideas above their station.

Andreessen isn't a lefty. I wonder what they mean by utopia. Walkable could just mean good city planning as far as access to stores and entertainment between housing .  No ody is gonna move there if there's no roads to drive on.

It’s in a county adjacent to the Bay Area. No way that doesn’t get invaded by the poors and the bums.

LOL, and whose going to be doing all the actual WORK that it takes to run a "rich utopian city"?  Wage slaves will have to be bussed in from nearby projects and ghettos.

You would assume so.  Water, power, sewage, schools, etc.  don’t think you’re gonna build something that size and NOT get some kind of government service.  I can see heads exploding at California EPA, or some other type government agency.

Ownership of the land doesn’t mean that they can just develop it how they want. Aren’t zoning and permits a thing— especially in CA?

They're throwing billions of dollars at this. I doubt that permits are going to be a problem.

I wonder if Leftists are vapor locked between the environmental aspects of covering 53,000 Acres with multi-story buildings and creating the world's largest liberal utopian commune?  Whatever, pack them all in there so they can exist entirely within their planned community footprints, own nothing, and be happy.  Wall it off for good measure.  I'll watch this dumpster fire from the other coast.

There’s a smaller town, about 15 miles south of Boise, called Kuna.

Lamebook/Meta decided this town would be the perfect spot to establish Meta’s headquarters, which is hyper fucking bizarre.  It’s between a huge, industrial slaughterhouse and 90% of the states’ prisons.

I drove by the “project” last week and was fucking floored at the scope of it. The primary building makes an Amazon warehouse look like your local stop-n-rob…easily the largest, non-sky-scraping building I’ve ever seen.

Anyhow, Kuna has maybe 25k residents, many of them are farmers, have wells, septic, etc…turns out, the wonderfully environmentally conscious corporation is draining the local aquifers. Local homeowners complaining that their wells have run dry, in addition to other issues.

It’s just amazing how these transnationals talk such a big game about carbon credits, they’re environmentally friendly, etc, etc…but when they come in, they just wipe local resources out like it’s nothing.
