Except for that initial $800 million, plus the billions it will cost for infrastructure.

They will try to get that financed by VC or regular finance and skim something off the top of everything that's happening in the city.

Even if the libertarian nightmare fails, they still have a developed city near SF.

That will get passed on to a local municipality, just like building sprawling suburbs
