Crazy rich ideas...

[verreauxi]

I am coming around to Southern WY

A man of your word: you've spent the day thinking way too much about this.

Gotta love the creativity, despite in many cases a general lack of details/specifics or an understanding of human emotional and social needs.


We have the city of Telosa, currently, not built and no location chosen, but the billionaire behind it expects a population of 1,000,000 in about 1-2 decades.

Here's some pictures of what it will look like:

A bit of a Barbican Centre feel to it:

Then we have Seasteaders...can you imagine living in that small pod off the coast of Panama for the rest of your life:

Then, of course, there is Jeff Bezos who wants to colonize outer space, he calls them O'Neil colonies. And each one holds a million people.

I can't help but wonder what the tax structure looks like on that colony...Do you think corporations will pay their fair share of taxes? And I wonder who would be president?

But if you don't want a brand new city, or to live on a small pod on the ocean, or go into space...well, the rich have an answer for that: go underground with a luxury bunker:

There is still room available in the Indiana bunker! How would you like to spend the rest of your days underground with a bunch of survivalists in Indiana...it sells itself!

And someone (likely a rich person) was very smart and created a craigslist/Facebook market place for the super wealthy. It's called Jamesedition (website: JamesEdition.com)

Here you can buy a gold AK-47 chair and lamp set:

I see you've gone for the perferted lemur. Armed with colone pumps on its rists.

The douche sex best of the animal kingdom. Some form your showing.

Still thinking about this*, I can't really see this working in a desert or any water deprived area. I am no water expert, but from what I read Texas is facing a looming water shortage as well, so I don't think CA, AZ, NM work and I am doubtful for most of TX as well. I don't see how this works unless you buy most of the land from a single source, so I've been looking at this a lot (don't have a Bloomberg subscription so I can't look at the better maps). I think central OR is a possibility, I really like southern WY both near SLC and Denver, or even between. Near Wichita Falls, TX, is a possibility, especially if you can secure water. Southern AL might work, but anyone who's been to the South knows it ain't the heat, it's the humidity, and that is a humid location. So WY is now my favorite location at the moment.

*having no formal training in land use and planning, my only credentials are that I've been a GOT member abar 8 years
