Bingo.
This is along the lines of what I'm thinking.

There are incredible new ways to do things, from transportation to energy to manufacturing.

A well financed, forward looking, group of people, in a market (read: overpriced) that allows for mistakes, could usher in big societal changes.

The buyers are actually white people who, according to GFR, are all racist. They probably therefore just want to segregate themselves from the inferior
races.

I have a vision.

1. Electricity:

I see PG&E as a big long term financial disaster. They are liable for fires everywhere because their equipment spanning thousands and thousands of miles fails with wind and it's installed in ever re-growing timber country - which is nearly everywhere. Nature is a battle they can't win. They are limping trees, and claiming to be retro-under-grounding everything. This is too expensive. The sooner one disengages from this the better. Both my homes are tied to endless PG&E rate increases. Yikes!

Alternatively….New transmission lines go underground.
New generation and storage is coming online. Solar and wind are abundant in the area south of Travis AFB. Tesla battery storage has proven successful.

2. Building Production:

There are many firms which are developing prefab housing faster and cheaper than traditional stick buildings. Modular. To the centimeter. Energy efficient, air tight boxes.

3. Rancho Santa Margarita:

Have you ever driven there?
Wide sweeping boulevards with walking jogging trails on either side of the roadway and a planted median between directions. It's quite pleasant, and quite the contrast to 6' cement sidewalk LA or Oakland or SF or…. Basically, urban planning keeps improving for our American style of development, which means Cars. In the old days, a road was drawn, and people built as close as possible. Suburbs like Concord have setbacks to the street, sure, but the street are often inadequate and unpleasant. DiabloWags will agree with here.
There are MANY Rancho Santa Margaritas everywhere. These folks would build it out similarly. Maybe they'll even add a modern public transportation option as well. Go dense. Not likely, though. No $ in that for them.

4. Put it all together:

A housing developer should start their own utility company. Not only would the environmentally friendly aspect attract people, but it would be cheaper
AND
they not only make their money back on the initial sale of real estate up front, but they effectively lock in a long term revenue stream for all their customers. Call this an annuity.

Double financial win.

No, I was just mindboggled that you thought anything aged worse than Pizzagate but decided I didn't want to get dragged into the muck with you.

You write like BearHunter, you obsess about the same topics as BearHunter, you came up with an alias that takes a shot at the Bidens like BearHunter does over and over again. Basically there's not a nanometer of difference between the two of you. It's pretty clear you're just another Yogi burner account, albeit one with more stamina than most.

Can someone remind me which thread is the one where GOPers pretend to care about government whistleblower allegations?

In July, an FBI whistleblower named Johnathan Buma sent the Senate Judiciary Comm a statement about the FBI's suppression of his investigation for political reasons.

From an Insider article about it:
Quote:

A veteran FBI counterintelligence agent says his supervisor told him to stop investigating Rudy Giuliani and to cut off contact with any sources who reported on corruption by associates of former President Donald Trump, according to a whistleblower complaint obtained by Insider.

The agent, who served 14 years as a special agent for the bureau, including a long stint in Russia-focused counterintelligence, claimed in a 22-page statement that his bosses interfered with his work in "a highly suspicious suppression of investigations and intelligence-gathering" aimed at protecting "certain politically active figures and possibly also FBI agents" who were connected to Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs.

Those figures, the statement claims, explicitly included "anyone in the White House and any former or current associates of President Trump."
...
In an interview with Insider, the whistleblower said he was motivated by a desire to improve the FBI, which he says is "essential, as imperfect as it is," because of its sweeping power to hold "policymakers accountable, whether they're on the left or the right."

"This is a decision point," he said. "Are we going to do public corruption or not?"
By the way, GOP should appreciate Buma's work since it led to the Hunter Biden investigation. From the NYer:
Quote:

In January, 2019, information from one of Buma's sources set in motion the Bureau's first inquiries into potential undisclosed lobbying and tax evasion by Hunter BidenPresident Joe Biden's son and, at the time, a director of the Ukrainian company Burisma. Buma also played a pivotal role in a Bureau investigation into possibly illegal foreign-lobbying activity and campaign-finance violations by Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, who oversaw a sprawling effort to dig up dirt on Hunter Biden's Ukrainian ties.

Earlier this year, Buma watched with keen interest as the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee geared up for public hearings into the Biden Administration's alleged political "weaponizing" of the F.B.I. The Republicans claimed that the Bureau had relentlessly pursued former President Trump and his allies while neglecting leads about the Bidens. (In January, Representative Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican who chairs the committee, complained on "Meet the Press" that, although agents had "raided Trump's home," they hadn't "raided Biden's home.") In April, Buma reached out to Jordan's office, offering public testimony as a whistle-blower. He later gave a detailed phone interview to two former federal agents whom the committee had hired to investigate what its conservative members call "the Biden family business."

The Republicans, however, were in no rush to publicize what Buma had to sayperhaps because his account ran against their preferred story line. Buma said that, during the Trump Administration, Bureau officials hardly covered up for the Bidens: his fellow-agents jumped on any new scrap of information about Hunter's foreign business dealings, even though the resulting investigation never produced evidence of illegal corruption. Instead, in Buma's telling, agency leaders had moved repeatedly to squash his investigation of possible Russian and Ukrainian ties to Giuliani. Not only did the Trump Administration Attorney General William Barr appear to shut down an active investigation of Giuliani in 2020; Buma has charged that, even under the Biden Administration, agency overseers seemed determined to silence some of the most important sources feeding his Giuliani reporting.
