Building New Cities: Challenges and Opportunities in California

In today's episode, Mike Solana is joined by Jan Sramek & Devon Zuegel to discuss California Forever, a startup aimed at building an entirely new city in California. We get into why Jan has raising $900M for this project, the problems with current cities, doing the impossible, and the ferocious push back that he has received.
