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.

      Why not?

      Because they leeched off of our infrastructure to get where they are, and now they want to take their cake and eat it alone…

      We provided their cities, infrastructure, education, healthcare, educated and financial stable customers, and now that they’ve hoarded all the money, they want to build themselves a new city without the normies…

      Fine, but they can also build their own army to protect them, their own water treatment centers their own garbage disposals, their own education network, and if they want to interact with the rest of the country we’ll tax them at 500% the rate because of the douchebag tax.
