After weeks of local speculation, the purchasers of 55,000 acres of northern California land have been revealed. The group Flannery Associates – backed by a cohort of Silicon Valley investors – has quietly purchased $800m worth of agricultural and empty land, the New York Times has reported. Their goal is to build a utopian new town that will offer its thousands of residents reliable public transportation and urban living, all of which would operate using clean energy.

      Okay good… Rich people keep moving to my area where most people aren’t as well off.

      They keep coming into our small towns and open up little Vinyard places. It’s like that episode with SodoSopa, but in real life.

      It’s cool to see, but it makes the cost of living impossible!
