Why Tech Billionaires Want to Build a City HERE
Get the 5-minute newsletter keeping 2M+ innovators in the loop: thehustle.co/
Since 2018, land in Solano County, California, has quietly been getting purchased by Flannery Associates LLC - a company that, until recently, no one had heard of. Backed by notable tech founders like LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman and VCs like Sequoia Capital’s Michael Moritz, Flannery has spent ~$900m acquiring tens of thousands of acres for a project called California Forever - “a new community in East Solano,” according to the project’s website. But why would some of the wealthiest names in tech want to invest in developing a stretch of farmland in Northern California not far from the already-developed Silicon Valley? The Hustle’s Noelle Medina traveled to the California Forever project site to find out.

    I have noticed a lot of UA-cam channels making very similar statements. It sounds a lot like a propaganda campaign. You need to tell the other side of the story because everyone agrees that American legacy auto is way behind in innovation, just like Chinese car companies were with gas cars. The Chinese government 50/50 rules required foreign auto manufactures to share their wealth and technology to improve Chinese car companies. If China wants to compete in America, they need to follow the same rules that American car companies have had to follow in China. "Since 1994, China has required foreign automakers to form a 50:50 joint venture with one of its local carmakers to enter the Chinese new car market. That requirement meant outside carmakers were required to tie up investment in China. At the same time, they shared profits and technology with their Chinese partners." If China wants to sell cars in the US, they need to share their profits and technology with US car companies. Capitalism only works on a level playing field. Tesla was the number one selling car in the world with a proven record of innovating. The US government should be helping Tesla just like the Chinese government helps BYD. Allow Tesla and BYD to open a joint 50/50 battery company in the US where BYD is required to share their IP with Tesla.

    When China was not yet a powerful EV manufacturer, it invites the most competitive player Tesla in, to stir up the competition; when the US is not a powerful EV player, it shuts the stronger one out. US government is full of short-sighted, and worse, industry-influenced politicians.

    Franchise fee are usually about 10% to 12% of the gross and the franchisee often has to buy the food from the franchisor at inflated prices. A restaurant can save a fortune by being independent of the franchise system.

    Without a doubt, this year will be worse than the last. I lost a lot of money last year as a result of bad investment choices that I would not have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I kept investing, but I couldn't determine whether to start paying for a house. In the end, I sold my positions, and the house needed more work than I had planned. I'm not sure how long I can keep going like this

      True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
