TL;DR Summary

Billionaire-backed company California Forever plans to build a new city in Solano County, California, with initial plans for 20,000 homes and potential for 400,000 residents. The proposed initiative includes a focus on sustainability, walkability, and financial guarantees, but faces strong local opposition due to concerns about environmental impact and proximity to an Air Force base. The project is backed by prominent figures like Reid Hoffman and Laurene Powell Jobs, but also criticized by Rep. John Garamendi as unrealistic given the area's challenges with infrastructure and resources.
