Sources tell the I-Team's Stephanie Sierra that several Bay Area tech giants are behind the massive land purchases and their intention is to build a new city that will generate thousands of jobs in Solano County.

It was just a couple weeks ago I ran a piece about this very same mystery group bitching and complaining that the landowners got together and supposedly conspired to sell their land at inflated prices.
Fuck 'em. They're going to build a new city of homes that might, just might go for $200k anywhere else in the country and charge close to if not more than a million bucks a pop for them.
We've got a new city popping up nearly every month outside Phoenix. Starting to look like LA around here.
ReplyDeleteIt is LA.! First the scum from NYC move to LA, then they move from that shithole to fuck up another locale. Phoenix has always been a refuge for NYC. New Yakkers have tainted and destroyed everything they have ever touched.
DeleteYeah... And the first order of this "smart" city's business will be to close Travis! This is how these people work. They move into a house next door to an AFB, and then start complaining about the noise the planes are making. The Gay Area is famous for this kind of thing. While I was stationed there in the Coast Guard the cities of San Francisco, Alameda, and Oakland managed to shutter the Presidio Army Base, Naval Air station Alameda, Army Supply Depot Oakland, the Mare Island submarine pen, and Naval Weapons Depot Concord. They did all this in the time it took me to complete two tours up there. Hell; I'm surprised they allowed the Coast Guard to stay! I guess they needed someone to tow these folks in after they ran out of gas... in their sailboats... I'm not sure what impact the other base closures had, but the closure of Naval Airsta Alameda GUTTED the city's economy. They could have changed the name of the place to "For Lease..."
ReplyDelete"Smart"
Syn: "Completely surveilled..."
I remember when Puerto Rico activist shut down the US Navy from using a test firing range. The Navy decided that without the range, the base wasn't worth anything to them and closed the base. The locals started whining about losing the revenue from the base. Well, idiots, what did you think would happen?
DeleteI think it was Guam where the locals started making noises about wanting to get rid of the base there. The base commander ordered everyone paid in two-dollar bills. After a month or so he pointed out that all of those two-dollar bills floating around the island came from the base. If the base left, that money would leave with them.
They want to turn Travis into a private jetport that only they and their rich pals can use. No delays for them.
DeleteA new city for homeless, drug addicts, and illegals...right?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Travis AFB is the jumping off point for Military activity deploying to East Asia. Losing control of Travis substantially degrades our power projection capability in the Pacific Rim. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteThis is also going on all over on a smaller scale. Every new 'large' facility/employer such as Amazon distribution centers, call center, industrial warehouse, etc. gets a cheap, quick and dirty apartment complex built next door for the workers to live in. It lets the companies justify lower salaries by pointing at low rents, short commute to the drones who don't see (or have) much of a future. Sad - we are apparently all in on communism at the local planning and zoning levels.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the money, Lebowski. Always has been, is and always will be. Even hard corps Commies will do the greenback 2 step top hat and cane in hand.

DeleteI'll be the conspiracy theorist and say they have advanced knowledge that Travis AFB is going to be on the base closure list soon and this way they will be primed to turn all that area into executive mansions with a private airport.
ReplyDeleteBlacks will complain about no "affordable housing" available. They always elbow their way into Whiteyville.
