What’s the visa process like for Norway? Do you have to have a job sponsoring your visa, or can you just prove work from home income?

Funny that before the identities of the buyers was known, everyone’s go to theory was that it was a nefarious CCP plot.

In 2017, Flannery Associates pitched an idea to turn the Solano County land into a walkable city powered by clean energy and housing tens of thousands of residents

Fuck it. I’m excited. We have so much demand for housing in this country, I don’t even care if its a dystopian cyberpunk town anymore. Just give me a healthy place to live.

Would be nice, but sadly most real life examples of a walkable, human scale environment are either prohibitively expensive to live in, or inhabited by rich folks ☹️

Given that this is being bankrolled by them, i’m curious to see what restrictions they’ll apply, if any.

I wish a company would build and oversaturate the market with walkable, human scale areas, to force prices down across the board… but that’s beyond wishful thinking lol

I would be excited about a well planned walkable good public transportation city during a housing crisis, but 100% of tech bro utopia ideas have been disappointments.

Why barricade in Monaco when you can bring Monaco to barricade here?
