    If you had a ton of money, this seems like a great way to make more. Buy a bunch of land, sell it at a premium to the “right” people, profit, and then leave.

    Bonus: you’ve just concentrated a bunch of rich assholes into one known, ideally remote, location.

      Why else would I be fully supportive of Musky-boy’s initiative to colonize Mars?

      1. Get all the hyper-wealthy parasites off of the planet and onto Mars, get things going so it appears attractive and compelling.
      2. Have their spacecraft remotely scuttled once they are all on the planet.
      3. Let the hyper-wealthy discover what “hard work” really is for once in their supremely privileged lives, especially with their basic survival on the line.
      4. Leave Earth for all the working-class people.

        Honestly, I’ve got some property that I’m thinking would be great to start building really modern tiny homes on. I was thinking if I can get enough people together, it could basically be self sustaining.

        The tiny homes would be about 200sq/ft, but really clean lines, very Scandinavian with lots of glass and metal but very sustainable wood exteriors. The glass would keep people reminded that they’re on the land and in a community.

        We’d make sure there was fiber so the internet would be great at all times, so it would be a very wired community. All naturescaping, spaces for community gardens, outdoor firewood saunas for the community space, and a community firepit for outdoor meetings and events.

        There’s a river and a lake nearby, so we make it all walking and bike paths within the community. We just build the warmth and community and seamlessly integrate technology in a green way to serve what I call the “Intellect Workers” – programmers, writers, artists and engineers; people that do the actual work of making society and culture grow. We can reflect that sensibility in our shared gardens.

        It really could be something beatiful, and we can subsidize a part of the cost of ownership across the community members, so that it’s affordable to the young innovator as much as it is to the less young creators.

        Obviously science and rational thinking will dominate, and we will seek to grow the community to SUSTAINABLE levels, so that it can remain a space of innovative creation.

        I really think we could get this done. How many can I put you down for?
