- A group of developers have plans to turn a rural part of California into a new city and collected 20,000 signatures to put the project on the ballot in November. Some locals are questioning the ways petitioners gathered the signatures.

#California #SiliconValley #City
More housing = more affordable housing state wide.
Although I'd rather see we fix the cities we have now, rather than clear out wilderness to make a new one
It's not going to be affordable for anyone but the well off....you all need to think a bit before speaking. That man won't be living there either...he will be living in his mansion away from the pollution
@@thebedeaufamily prices drop when supply increases, thus becoming for affordable
Paving over entire ecosystems to create the perfect urban utopia. How about fixing and building up already existing cities? A lot of space in cities goes to waste as parking lots, golf courses, and shopping centers/malls. If those old cities are dirty, how about cleaning them up? In fact a lot of old warehouses and empty office towers can be reutilized as housing too.
Finally, somebody gets it!!
Californian HOAs and NIMBYs are too self centered to ever allow change for the better so building a city from the ground up may be the only thing possible
too expensive and takes too long to fix just like everything else.
Yeah, let’s focus on a brand new city and forget about all the other cities that need help
This is capitalism. You go build a city or advocate for better laws.
how are you helping all the other cities that need help?
@@mstar7520 referring to our state of California. High crime, trash everywhere, homeless issues, amongst all the other problems many cities have in the Bay Area specifically and also the valley. The money could go to these cities and clean them up instead of making a new one and sweeping the issues under the rug. That’s how.
I work as a nurse
@@LateNightCruisers and how are YOU helping those problems?
They've got dying cities like San Francisco but they want to build a "new" one. This is nothing more than pure greed by developers.
San Francisco isn't dying...people are working from home and not commuting. San Francisco is a top 10 US destination for 75 years.
San Francisco has undergone several metamorphic phases in modern history. Just like any other international metropolis city, they are constantly changing and evolving.
San Francisco has endured the 7.9 (Mw) earthquake of 1906, so it’ll be fine. Plus, land valuation in the San Francisco area are one of the most highly-priced in this country. So a project similar in this news report, just doesn’t seem feasible; especially if they plan on building “affordable” housing within their project. 🤔😅
out with the old in with the new. Like fast fashion for cities? SF went through very similar times in the early 90's. It was awful- there was a massive tent city of homeless in the park in front of City Hall. Massive. Tent. City. hundreds of tents and up to 1,000 people. uggggly. poop everywhere, etc.
@@philrabe910 Poop everywhere...you just lied and made that up! 🤣
Has anybody notice at 1:49 the skyline pictures are mislabeled? The picture on the left is the Houston skyline, the one on the right is the Orlando skyline.
Where they gonna get water?
What I'm hoping is that people within California leave other cities and go to this one to reduce pressure on housing demand. If people are coming from areas that don't depend on water from the Colorado river then the water argument does make sense. If people are already using that water then the demand on that water won't change.
From your state reservoir, or everyone buy it and collectively raise the price of all bottled water nationwide in every Walgreens and grocery store.
From a River
Ths is why I stopped signing petitions.
Affordable $500,000 tiny homes coming soon!
What about water & power? Where's that coming from?
Usually city planners figure those things out but you are asking youtube? I know from science channels that power is derived from powerplants or solar power. I dont understand the science behind it but Im sure planners do.
@@Sevenfold120 Learn to understand the question correctly. I meant where are they gonna find the additional sources of power & fresh water for the new city, given that both are scarce & in short supply. Groundwater levels are already severely depleted.
California is short on both .... the existing power generation can barely support the current demand.
@@anuragchakraborty8766 How many people ask that very question everytime new suburb housing subdivisions are built?
@@Sevenfold120 Depends on the location.
There’s a huge scarcity of water and power in that area, so these are extremely valid questions to ask.
“Investors” says it all
It's not like they haven't build Mountain House west of Tracy on the other side of Altamont anyways. What's new about building 'new" cities. I remember when Lathrop was only 5k in 1995 and now it's more like 30k people buying $600k homes!
They gonna build a city bordering the already disappearing San Joaquin river.
As a Californian, I wonder how many educated Californians from LA and the Bay Area are going to want to live in the Central Valley? Not a lot of culture, restaurants, professional sports or distractions there, although the valley does contain many cows.
Sactown isn't that bad.
@@Buckseed Maybe so. But how many people from the Bay Area do you think would be happy to trade for Sacramento, much less Fresno or Bakersfield.?
@@davemathews7890 Many are trading for Antioch, Brentwood and Stockton right now! I know people who commute from Roseville, Lincoln and Rocklin right now with remote days included.
@@davemathews7890 It's not like Fremont, Milpitas and San Jose is anything gorgeous and happening. People commute from the Valley like a lot.
@@Buckseed Agreed. Fremont and Milpitas are hideous. Even Oakland has more going for it than San Jose. But at least San Jose has a hockey team, the 49ers, a decent art museum, is close to the ocean beaches and has better restaurants than Sacramento. It also has cool neighborhoods like Willow Glen, Saratoga, Los Gatos and Los Altos.
Sacramento may become a really great place to live in 30-40 years, but right now it doesn't have a lot to recommend it other than its close proximity to Lake Tahoe and the Sierras.
It comes down to personal preference. I'm a native Californian and prefer more built up urban areas like LA and SF. Other people like the Valley because it's warmer, cheaper, is more relaxed and has more conservative politics than the rest of the state.
It’s for the richest people to live there
Elites only. . .looks like I might be moving in 🃏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Affordable" = 600-700k$ houses incoming and right next to a big military air base too... why are they building a city on top of another city?
Better Revitalize the Cities with added Infrastructure.
Will this be another California City?
Some people are cynical and will oppose anything. We sorely need new housing and new ideas like this in California.
So you need new $500k-$800k tiny homes???? 👌🏽
Some people are gullible and will believe anything ! Sorry !
awesome reporting!
If successful, it'll turn the Central Valley from red to blue.
that definitely was not Houston, you have your cities mixed up
The people holding the solano together paper sign must spend 68 years of their lives gaining and producing food which will be eaten like instantly when this slum city gets created
Stop holding signs and start working on the fields. Begging gaining labor for yourselves, you have a lot of people to feed
LOL Probably a bunch of transplants from New York.
Solano Co.??? Really? LOL
They don't want it there because it will reduce the market value of their subpar house driven up only because of low supply.
Why won't NBC talk about the political aims of these guys? What's NBC afraid of?
Old people want MORE cars, MORE huge parking lots 😂 No one telling them, if you build better public transit and Pedestrian cities, it means ZERO 'liberals' in traffic 🤣
It's a WIN WIN
Sounds horrible
Your rent about to go up ^^^
Sounds like a good idea to me! Sustainable, not car-centric, ensure all houses are fully electric + solar, no gas, lots of green spaces, maybe urban farming. Heck I think they should require all vehicles be fully electric.
Why does some nefarious Czech billionaire get to decide what we do with California's pastoral landscape? The hubris of people is astounding.
Build it !
We need more housing/jobs!
The NBC image person had one job and failed miserably 😂😂🤦🏾
There should be a lot for prefab homes
If you can build a city from the ground up and make it walkable and pedestrian friendly then whatever other issues there are can be solved.
It would be interesting to see him build forever. Califormula, with no faster fuel equipment.
Sw SUPERMARKET BEEFo food prices increase, more migrants more eaters, more consumers, more climate change, everybody suffers
Yes, clearly anyone who would live there will appear out of thin air and not from somewhere else. Most people learn object permanence as an infant, but not you. 🤦♂️
Exponential reproduction. If we conduct an experiment beginning with two migrants which multiple and double every year. In 30 years that 2 will become 5 million. You lack cognitive grasp. Listen there are 12 million migrants, that number will become 90 million in 30 years. You need to get up or of your seat and begging working on the fields to grow fresh food for all these people you care for. You stop typing and start working.
You're people don't have human rights, that's why you couldn't take Australia when it was in your backyard 🙋🏼
Peace will soon be heard and 1 Thessalonians 5: 3 will be fulfilled. *Are you ready for the great tribulation to start in a few more seconds?*
If they build another Irvine, that would be great
No…..
Mustang 🐎☁️ here i come
Do it
CA forever!!
CA Forever?! Sounds like a group of high-end grifters
Globsl broke
Awesome new digs for the homeless , druggies and whatever other people they are trying to escape from…
Down 👇...!
Make sure to built in a way that rain water for the city get properly collected!!!
They are lying to you guys 4 real
It will be full of crime
US is so behind for projects like this. China can put a city in 1/3 of the time. It took 11 years for nyc to build a mta station. They need a new city to create jobs and diversify the area.
❤
Dont forget the crime
Global broke
NIMBYism everywhere
👑🗿👹
👨🌾🐄🐓
Solano County has a WATER problem. CA can't afford to water 400,000+ new citizens. She never reported on the on-going droughts in California.
Big cities all across this country have a people shortage. Instead of building all over farmland developers need to focus more on infill projects. That’s the only way to save Americas cities.
Always grow America!!
Nope, communist city.
In this area the wealthy create the fantasy of what we all want. The rest of you struggle to survive. Why not make the entirety of our cities and states a place where we all want to be? Do they think they will not be using immigrant labor to build? Do they think that homes won’t sell to the highest bidder? And if they do sell to below market rate people, who will those fortunate few be? When the tech industry first came to the Bay Area they said they were “saving the world”. Turns out they were “making money while costing us all out of our own neighborhoods”. The world has not been saved fyi
ALL RACIST CITY !
I can almost guarantee it will be a pile of crap, and the land should be left as it is. We have enough cities already! No new development!
Great, we finally have a certified zoning and city planner in the chat. Do we have just enough cities or enough housing too? Enough people?
I've had enough of you.
There has to be space among all these people for the actual world that supports them.
Only the location is changed. People living in the city are the same. So it's gonna be mass
Add a new city that's surrounded by existing cities in full blown decay and decline....what could possibly go wrong 😂😅😂😅😂
Having green renovations would surely help. That decay can be sorted and that decline upholstered. Maybe some social housing to help having more affordable options. When people think let's make new jobs, they often go for making new things, instead of fixing and mending what was made in the past. Some land acknowledgment of indigenous spaces, rewildering lands could help to stand against climate change. California has been such an inspiration worldwide, some necessary climate change adaptation is needed and maybe the solution isn't into making new sustainable spaces but by having a socially sustainable transition. And the whole world will have more almond milk and be at peace!
@@retineshilares2497 😅🤣😂😆🤣😂😆🤣😂 oh, were you serious?
Trojan horse big giant giant Trojan horse
Maybe we shouldn’t damage the eco system and fix the cities that we already have 🫠
