The radical libertarian city builders of the tech-bro set have an audacious new proposal: They want to convert Guantánamo Bay, host to the infamous prison, into the high-tech charter city of their wildest imaginations, which will double as a “proving ground” for migrants seeking to enter the United States. The Charter Cities Institute, or CCI, which has lobbied the Trump administration on setting up so-called freedom cities in the U.S, suggests the president take advantage of Guantánamo’s special legal status to convert the controversial detention camp into “a beacon of 21st-century prosperity.”
Ever notice how the libertarians always wanna build a city in some remote place like the ocean, Mars, or Gitmo? Suspicious that these are places difficult to escape.
I mean who cleans the toilets in Gault’s gulch?
It’s just magical realism. Easier to believe in a magical utopia on Mars than to deliver on a municipal government that isn’t overrun by bears.
surely the Free Town Project would go perfectly if it were started somewhere uninhabitable to animal life!
