Silicon Valley heavyweights reportedly want to use the land to build the perfect city.
In a 2017 email to an prospective investor obtained by the Times, Moritz stated “this effort should relieve some of the Silicon Valley pressures we all feel — rising home prices, homelessness, congestion etc.”
In recent days, local residents in Solano County had reportedly been bombarded with surveys via text messages. The surveys asked for their thoughts on a planned city with “tens of thousands of new homes” as well as features such as orchards and a solar energy farm, according to the Journal, which obtained screenshots of the texts.
Reps. John Garamendi and Mike Thompson, local Democratic lawmakers who had earlier called for the Committee on Foreign Investment to look into the land purchases, said Friday that Flannery had requested meetings about the project, according to the report.
