If this does work out I already know it's going to just be a rich wonderbread community. Companies are cool with pandering to nogs for easy advertisement but there's no way they'd let any low IQ ones into their shiny new corporate city to wreck the place.

>>29927915
HOAs aren't all bad. They ensure a neighborhood is clean and quiet. They ensure no niggers move in and are blasting music at 2 in the morning. It's a tradeoff.

that's ethereum city, no joke. the guy gave a huge event and devcon in prague and the whole city was full with ads to this event. some guy with a midlife crisis wants to change the world by building a blockchain city. i thought he gave up on it but recently read that he is still on it and even got some support from the government.

They had me till "corporate owned". I think that says everything anyone really needs to know about what this is here. Big Tech is tired of being a formless floating 4th arm the gov. They want their own city-state too now.

>HOAs aren't all bad.
They're literally the worst commonly made mistake new homeowners make.
They have the ability to completely ruin your life if one day the wrong person gets onto the HOA board and decided to start fucking your shit up. They can even foreclose on you, sometimes without even needing to take you to court.
>They ensure no niggers move in
You can ensure that yourself without an HOA just by taking the money you would have spent on HOA fees over the next fifty years and putting it towards a more expensive house that prices niggers out. Or you could even just find a remote enough area where blacks are underrepresented in the nearest city's demographics. Signing up for HOAs is just a terrible idea and not anywhere near worth the minor benefits they might temporarily provide while your HOA board is being manned by sane and decent people (and inevitably someone else will take over, just a matter of time when).

>>29927713

There used to be company towns owned by mining companies back in the day. The houses were owned by the company and you shopped at the company store. They had complete control of everything and you best believe they liked to abuse that power. Imagine getting a paycheck from your boss then handing it right back to him as you buy groceries, pay your bills, and buy anything else you want and need. It's the closest you can get to modern day slavery. If Nevada or any other state allows this it's proof that corporations are ones who truly run this country.

You know I used to believe this narrative, but now I'm thinking it's bullshit. If the system didn't offer any advantages - in fact, if the system didn't offer substantial advantages - over the alternative, the company wouldn't be able to attract talent.
>getting a paycheck from your boss then handing it right back to him as you buy groceries
Why not if I'm paying 75% of market value thanks to the bulk pricing the boss gets on the open market? Goode cuts of meat for 25% off everyday? Sounds like a good deal to me.

real life cyberpunk soon.

>>29937784
They bought into the public school narrative completely. The state loses all its legitimacy when people begin to realize that private entities can provide the higher quality versions of the same services that states currently monopolize.

>>29937784
If leadership isn't a piece of shit, there can be substantial advantages to a corpo city. Bulk purchases of goods could potentially be marked down closer to cost, same as rent, utilities, security; corps already handle the cost of med insurance at a better cost by leveraging the purchasing power of all employment.

The problem of course is the same problem you'll find everywhere else: corrupt leadership. What would be interesting to see is a corporate city state with.. a nationalistic type streak, corporatist I suppose, where the employee belongs to the corporation first and treats it like a nation. Private corp armies when

>>29931098
Yes. Where the fuck have you been the last decade?

>>29937383
I’m from Reno man, it will happen.

>>29937784
When the company you work for owns your time, your home, and all of the money you make goes right back to them they hold an insane amount of power over you. At that point they pretty much you own outright. History has shown time and time again that people with a ton of power will inevitably abuse it. In case you didn't read it.

>may get the power to form its own government
Oh boy. Now your company has legal jurisdiction over your ass.

>if they can't offer advantages
They don't need to. Wages have stagnated or fallen for decades and all they have to do promise a cheap or even free housing and they will pull in all of the poor millennials who have been priced out of every decent market. They probably don't even have to do that, they can just set up their shitty corpo city and tell their employees to move or they lose their job. It's easy to pretend that it's easy to give up a good paying but it's not especially if you have a family. Lets be honest here, if a big corporation in the US wants to do something they can pretty much do what they want and their employees will obey. Politicians don't care as long the "donations" keep coming. Workers have been brainwashed in to believing that their fellow coworker is the enemy and that the company is the benevolent force and dedicating the majority of your waking hours to it is a good thing.

>if i'm paying 75% of the market value
What makes you think they will offer that all? What makes you think they will offer anything? Companies barely offer anything now, what makes you think they will treat you better when they completely own you? You can live Amazon City, I'll keep my freedom.

>>29926295
I would actually have no problem with corporate cities if the US was essentially broken up into tons of micro states with their own autonomy that you could choose to live in if you so chose.

>>29926908
it never left lol

>>29932196
This. The cons outweigh the benefits especially when they end up still allowing people to blast music at 2 am every weekend. At that point you're the equivalent of a wage slave at home...nah I'll take my chances without an HOA.

>>29935602
Dont have sauce myself but Ive heard of this. They can basically evict you the way walmart can fire you for refusing to dance. No thx not looking to grovel to some power hungry hoa karen.

Sounds comfy. The Corp is basically border control and keeps out undesirables. There will probably be whole cities without crime.

>>29926295
it means that you will not be around long enough to see the real future.
smart cities doesn't mean anything. what they're talking about is "come to my new city - 'it's smart' (unlike you)."
I guarantee people will revolt against the city planners. there will be an influx of kleros cases against them in no time.
