## Resource

Tech billionaires are racing to build a massive new city in Solano County, California — complete with shipyards and factories — while lobbying lawmakers to fast-track environmental reviews. After nearly a decade of quietly acquiring farmland and shifting plans from a walkable utopia to an industrial hub, they’re betting big on economic gains, including a potential defense contract. But critics warn of environmental risks, lack of transparency, and possible bypassing of local control — as the fate of this ambitious project hangs in the balance.
