I conceptualized a global village in a project, "Straightline, Georgia".
A one mile wide public easement from Athens, Ga (new inland port) to Savannah, Ga (seaboard port) designed to exchange land with entrepreneurs from Freetown, Sierra Leone to promote trade with Africa. It had a high-speed rail line and a 100 mph super highway to accommodate freight from the port and electric vehicles, a canal to renovate farmland soil from the ocean with the added benefit of alleviating coastal flooding, more components. 5k square land parcels for 1k sq foot homes. Energy parcels, etc. Very fluid zoning. Mortgage payments were based on 7% of income, energy and utilities etc another 7% and maintenance, insurance, etc. 21% total. Designed as generational housing with 40 plus years mortgages. In my mind, at least in the U.S., the market is so permanently corrupted a whole new way of doing things is the only way anything will work.
Will find and look over your report, I am sure it is fascinating. 0 reply
