Jan Sramek, a former Goldman Sachs trader, has been quietly working on a mysterious project in California aimed at building an urban utopia near San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Through his company Flannery Associates, Sramek has acquired thousands of acres of farmland, garnering the attention of high-profile tech investors.
However, as the project becomes more public, it faces challenges such as lawsuits from locals and strict zoning laws. The future of this ambitious “mega-city” plan remains uncertain.
