Billionaire considering Texas as a destination to host $400B Utopian City

Woof.

This is why I now rarely poke my head in the OT section. Every damn thread turns into a pissing match and name calling.

We need to bring the political section back just to give an opportunity to contain this mess.

I'm a big Larry Niven fan, this sort of structure came up frequently in his novels.

No comrade. You will receive a modest 1 bedroom home, exactly the same as mine. We will all enjoy our homes that are afforded by the fruits of our combined labors. We will be happy; our utopian project mandates it.

Then who has to live in the penthouse???

Lol the political infighting. Both sides need to understand that the answer to everything is somewhere in the middle. If you want to attract young and educated talent, you have to change with the times at least in social matters.

Anyhow, I don't buy these proposals until something actually happens. So many "proposals" never see the light of day. I'd be interested in seeing Texas develop a more walkable and livable city. Haven't been to Austin, but Dallas and Houston are very dull and car-dependent.
