The Mystery of the Silicon Valley-backed Land Grab

Silicon Valley investors have been quietly buying up large amounts of land in Solano County, California, creating speculation and mystery around their intentions. The investors include venture capitalists such as Michael Moritz, Mark Andreessen, and Lorraine Powell Jobs. The company, known as California Forever, has amassed thousands of acres in the area, twice the size of San Francisco. While they claim their plan is to build a new city from scratch, many are skeptical of their motives. They will face a major hurdle in a voter initiative to secure permission for the project.
