I see him as a corporate city slicker who wants to manipulate and and run corporate game on honest, hard-working farmers who believe strongly in tradition and keeping the land in the family.
"The right city in the right place at the right time" he says. What a load of BS. This guy comes across as the original huckster; I wouldn't buy a used tricycle from him.
This development will be just down the road from where I live. I've read several articles on this proposal. I don't much care for it. Although it is touted as a "middle class development" it will not be. Houses in this area, Solano County, start in the $675-750K. A basic house then you start adding the upgrades. This can quickly turn a "middle class house" into $850-900K or higher. No "middle" here. In Solano county the existing housing market is hot even with high interest rates. Property taxes are not cheap. The land in the proposed area is used for grazing cattle mostly. Rain is the only source of water. In other words, this is drought land. Bringing water into this land will be VERY costly. Not sure if the development has it's own sewer treatment system. Can the sewer system of Fairfield or Rio Vista handle handle additional sewage? Who will pay for the upgrades if necessary? The roads will need MAJOR upgrades to handle additional traffic. Both Highways 16 and 12 will need to be literally torn up and re-laid. The ground below existing roads settles and shifts every winter. Who is going to pay for this? State gas taxes are already high enough and stretched to the limits. Are there going to be special taxes per house to pay for all this new infrastructure? No, this will quickly turn into housing for the wealthy people of the bay area to escape the bay area. Not that I blame them for wanting to escape. A utopia? I think not.
Smh. More Baddaboom Baddabing. He's telling her everything he thinks she and the public want to hear. He'll try to save this project any way he can b/c of his investment in it, and maybe more than that given the current geopolitical state of affairs. But truly he and his group have gotten out ahead of their skis. His answer about why he wants to be so close to Travis doesn't add up. I know what it's like to live right next to an airbase like that with jets flying in and out 24/7. Not the kind of place you want to build a big residential development like that. People - look at what's going on in Israel. Look at what's going on in Ukraine. Do you really want to take a chance on compromising probably our most important military airbase on the west coast? It would be most unwise. Find a legal way to claw back this land or whatever else you can figure out and show this guy the door.
All that talk about a 1.5-hour commute and the quality of life is just their PR sales pitch. We need to see detailed plans on land use, water supply, and road improvements. Plans with housing locations, house types, and housing cost as well as retail and business locations. Plans include parks, shoreline access, nature preserves, hiking paths, cycling paths, and preserving the Western Railway Museum's right of way. Detailed plans of the land use within 5 miles of Travis AFB. Solid plans that they can't back out of. I can tell you now that it will be working-class apartments and condos next to Dixon, middle-class condos and homes next to Rio Vista, and upper-class homes and estates near Collinsville.
Road improvement is State and federal. Very expensive. He doesn't talk much about it because it's not their property. No water. It's a 15 minute city with 2 cars . Garage in the bottom and 3 stories.lots of stairs. Queen bed might fit in bedroom. Open space and parks are negotiable with the state? What is considered good paying jobs,? Cost of home new 1m. ,to 3 m. Tech jobs are going to Sacramento. Why did silicon valley bank go broke?
He touts affordable housing but has clearly stated in interviews that the houses will be $1,000,000.00 homes - That is not affordable for the middle class. Then he touts that they will bring lots of jobs that will average $85,000.00, more than the median income of Solano County. So, to be clear the people you want to work in this new city will not be making enough money to buy a home in this new city. Where is the water going to come from? If we are on water restrictions how can our water support 400,000 new homes/families? What about all the open space, wildlife & agricultural lands that you will be destroying? California Forever/Flannery Group/East Solano Plan is bad for Solano County. #SolanoRising #SaveSolano #StrongerSolano #CF #CaliforniaForever #Flannery #EastSolanoPlan
Jan tells a good story. This was done successfully with similar tactics at Babcock Ranch in Florida which is fully powered by alternative energy! "And, my friends, in this story you have a history of this entire movement. First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you."
I’m good. Most of us in suisun don’t want that. Very much telling her what she wants to hear. As much as most of us don’t want it…. It’s gonna happen and they’ll price us out of homes…
Not going to happen. Get involved. Save Travis Air force base and agricultural land. Food for everyday. Investors are hiding their profits. Lay off are starting on tech industry. About 2600 each day Take care
this guy is just a great hustler, "fake-it-until-you-make-it" type. clearly at bragging and "upsell" himself. none of his previous companies had sizable exit. probably got his immigration because his american wife too
no evidence that he's not legit, and being backed up by big names isn't easy, but i definitely sense the Elizabeth holmes/Vivek Ramaswamy type of personality in him
I believe this would be a good change for all of Solano county. Brining jobs to that side of the bay, creating more housing and opportunities. I look forward to hearing more about this project. Great interview.
You do know that most of our produce in America that have been taken over or bought out by big corporations has lost its nutritional vitamin value by more than 75% meaning that fruits, vegetables and other organic produce or plants don’t have the same vitamin content! you do know that humanity is running out of natural food do you? Hypertension, diabetes and obesity have been taken over to nation that’s not from people just eating bad that’s from people buying fake food that they don’t even know that’s fake Or are you a capitalist that doesn’t know about ecology

You have to ask, why did Jan and his cronies fight similar projects in their own towns?
Trying o sneak under the fence can have consequences.

you dont need to see plans. they are going to obviously have plans with 60,000 acres. it's a master planned community. look it up. irvine, et. al.

capitalist will do everything do reject the remote work crew. "you dont want to go back to old office? I'll build new office close to you"

@@svegliando all received money from George Soros.
Protection.... for the air force base ?
How kind of them. Since these tech bros are all about affordable housing, we have alot of homeless and migrants that could be moved there.
It will dry up water for 1000 years old redwood trees.
I believe this would be a good change for all of Solano county. Brining jobs to that side of the bay, creating more housing and opportunities. I look forward to hearing more about this project. Great interview.
Yeah forget all the family farms that owned the land that he made up lies to sue them and steal there homes people like you make me sick

Lol
He made claims with no legal obligations to anything. The jobs may be just the building.
How much are they paying you?
He’s a foreigner, so I don’t trust him. It’s a scam.
If he wants to rectify imbalances he could develop schools and equitable housing on Mare Island in Vallejo. This looks like sprawl.
Or tech people trying to make big bucks.
BS. That it that’s all..
