When Was the Last Time We Built a New City?

In August 2023, California Forever, a corporation founded by Jan Sramek, announced plans to build a new city in Solano County northeast of San Francisco, funded by Silicon Valley investors. The company aims to create a vibrant, walkable community with affordable housing, emphasizing slow growth and greenfield development. The city will offer amenities, schools, and infrastructure while promising economic benefits and jobs for Solano County residents. Sramek envisions a forward-thinking, transit-oriented community that could reshape the California housing landscape, providing a model for sustainable, affordable development. The project aims to complement urban infill efforts and promote zoning reform while encouraging transit improvements in the Bay Area.
