We’re here to make it rain.
For our host state, county, and nearby residents: we’re here to bring more customers, high-quality workers, and general economic development. And all without stressing your physical infrastructure—because, on principal, we’re going to build our own
Basically, we’re going to do what the car companies do when they want to open a new factory. They send a letter to dozens of cities that says “We’re doing to build a big factory that’ll employee 5000 people. If we put our factory in your city, which will be very good for you, what will do you do for us?” And then the car company expects cities to offer tax breaks, zoning changes, build roads and utilities for the factory, maybe some other stuff. Cities bend over backwards (honestly, these deals reek of graft), and then the car company picks the city that makes the best offer.
We’re going do the same thing, though our letter will sound more like “We’re going to build a city that 5000 families and 100 businesses have already committed to move to. If we build it within your borders, you’ll experience an economic boom, plus you’ll have lots of smart, hard-working kids around while all your other cities grow old and die because of population collapse. What will you do for us?” The bigger our numbers, the sweeter the offers we can expect.
We’ll be straight forward with what we need. We mostly need the removal of zoning laws and red tape that’ll prevent us from building the city. As we refine our goals we’ll get more specific about our needs, but the theme will be “please chill and let us do these things” rather than “give us free stuff.” End of the day, we’ll weigh the offers and plant our flag at the location that’s legally feasible and most-loved by our residents-in-waiting. …And yea, there’s a future with more than one flag in the ground.
