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.

    Florida is one of those places hostile to anything that helps citizens using tax money.

    After all, that’s socialism, which is evil. /s

    It also has one of the most regressive tax systems in the country.

    Philadelphia has an okay transit system, though it is neglected, as does NYC.
