LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
new cities? when blights against god like LA are allowed to exist? no, no, they need to finish turning LA into 5 human proportioned settlements before they get to destroy more of the land
i'm completely unironic btw, you could literally fit the entire population of california into the bounds of Los Angeles at a lower population density than Shanghai. there is absolutely no issue of space besides that too much of it is dedicated to cars, tearing up parking lots and boulevards is beneficial to the environment as opposed to "undeveloped" land
When's the last time a new city was built in the US? Like, a planned city? It seems that since the turn of the 20th century, any new "cities" have been suburbs budding off of cities like mold spores.
California has tons of empty land for new cities or to expand existing small cities, but you need to build an economy in the area to support it.
I know Merced has seen a lot of development recently due to the construction of UC Merced, providing the farming community with a secondary economic engine. There has also been a shift in gravity of the Bay Area south to San Jose due to the greater available land.
HSR should help smaller cities grow, as it provides Central Valley cities links to economically productive areas.
Bulldoze some of those useless military bases, remediate the toxic pollution that surely exists, then build up
sounds like they need a plan of EPIC proportions
