Why would they pay to live somewhere that’s inconvenient, no one would want to live somewhere inconvenient this isn’t a billionaire thing, it’s just a human thing. I don’t get why you’re mad that they don’t want to live in Wyoming. Who does?
The plus side is that they dumped ridiculous amounts of money into buying out all the land. Like 10x and more of the actual value. At least some family farmers got a big payday.
These fucks should set up Wyoming or south Dakota. Basically no taxes and they could probally flip the state to blue just with their own selves. likely take too long to helicopter back to the valley though.

Im not mad, I just think it would be more intersting as a billionare to build a tech hub in a deeply rural state than 60 miles north of Frisco’. The dynamics and change it would cause to one of tyese deeply rural states would be fascinating.
Setting up a vacation city a quick helicopters ride from your san fran penthouse is pretty mundane. If you want to do something stupid with your ill gotten gains, at least be interesting.

No one from California wants to live in Wyoming or South Dakota. They’re willing to pay more.

Ohh yeah i get it, but at least that would be interesting. These fucks are just setting up a play city for billionaires where they own everything from the water to the sky in some byzantine “vertically integrated ownership of a human life” bullshit.
Tge least they could do was make a tech mecha in Oklahoma. Just get weird with it out in the wind blown plains, but nah.

The weather is shit in the Midwest, and as the climate gets worse, the Midwest is going to be wrecked with those northern winds. The western coast largely avoids those winds because of several mountain ranges and the ocean, keeping it from freezing over.
