Can't find much info on this other than that several billionaires are planning to build their vision of utopia. Sounds like something out of dystopic science fiction. Perhaps one day it will be surrounded with laser fences and guarded by robots.


How is it different than the Irvine company, which is incredibly successful?


I know nothing of them but a quick perusal of their website makes them look like not much more than a fancy real estate developer.

In fact the imagery on the website furthers my point. Looks like modern apartment buildings and malls, very similar in feel to those in Demolition Man.


Demolition Man was filmed in Irvine! :)

They are one of the pioneers of 'master planned' communities, in that they owned almost all of the land that became the city Irvine. They carefully selected various lots for types of homes, which areas would be luxury homes, which would be industrial, which areas would be 'cheaper' homes and the like.

It is a fancy real estate development company, but they're really building cities and reshaping them in a holistic way.


Given what's written on the site, perhaps you could at least let the democratic process go a few steps down the road before assuming that what your Huffington Post betters told you to believe is actually true?


> Huffington Post

you got me pegged for the wrong political party. and it aint red or blue.


Meh, I like this group of billionaires.
