Sure, why attempt to improve the climate resilience or affordable housing in the cities where millions of people already live, when you can just buy land upstate and get a whole new toy to play with? And why tell local, state or national government anything - they’ll only be supplying the land, water, sewerage, utilities & transport links. You pay your taxes, you deserve to get something back.

This is going to be one hell of a planning application. What’s the land use code for “feudal stronghold”?

    I particularly love the billionaires talking about space/Mars and colonizing it. Like that’s somehow easier than lobbying for change and saving our already habitable planet.

      no irritating residents groups on Mars. And no need for an environmental impact report. It really is quite close to early colonialism
