Riiiiight. Because elites will totally build something that is beneficial for everyone. Nah, they’d build those walls with actual cancer if it meant getting 5 extra minutes of labour out of the people who are going to work there. Maybe elites need to stop making the decisions about what’s best before we all die a horrible burning, drowning, nuclear winter death, or drop dead from being worked like a machine until the actual machines rise.

The concept sounds great - I doubt they have any intention of making it actually great.

I'm all for the first proper walkable city built from the ground up. Elites already own everything anyways, they run the government. Last generation of elites gave us nothing but gridlock and car fumes, I welcome the change.
