Creating a Utopian City Is Harder Than Tech Billionaires Think::The man who created Sandy Springs, Georgia, has some advice for those who want to a build a metropolis in northern California.
They imagine this place where only rich people live and work, but don’t think to the next step of who does the things that rich people don’t care to do…so they’ll bring in poor people and then eventually complain bitterly that they either can’t get what they want done at poverty wages, or that their local exclusive society is falling apart.
In short: there is no valid reason for the ultra-rich to exist. The rising tide doesn’t lift all boats: it sinks the boat that have been tethered to the sea floor.
It’s really hard to exploit everyone for personal gain and still call it a utopia.
These tech billionaires don’t understand what utopia really is, for starters.
Because if they understand, they know utopia cannot exist…
And since their billionaire interests are at such odds with ours, they might be uniquely unqualified for that task…
I keep yelling “on screen!” at my wall, but nothing happens.
Idk the Saudis seem hell bent on creating them
Everything is harder than tech billionaires think. Billionaires are almost completely helpless.
