California has a housing shortage because construction is difficult in the region. Flannery will have to enlist the support of local residents to implement the project.
They have already sent out surveys about the project, which “would include a new city with tens of thousands of new homes, a large solar energy farm, gardens with more than a million new trees, and more than 10,000 acres (over 4,000 hectares. – RBC) of new parks and open spaces.”
The mayor of Fairfield (the center of Solano County) Katherine Moy expressed doubt about the possibility of implementing the project. According to her, the infrastructure is poorly developed here, there is only an overloaded two-lane highway, the area is subject to regular droughts and a high risk of wildfires. “It seems like an impossible dream,” she said.
