But yeah, there's this rag tag team of venture capitalists, tech billionaires, philanthropists, etc., who have been essentially, well, actually, to go back a little bit, it's been a lot of folks in Salado County, which is a county, I would say, it's kind of halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento.

You can call it the Bay Area, but it's really, really the northern extreme of Bay Area.

It's getting close to wine country.

Riley, just noting that for you if you want to visit.

It's noted.

Yeah, it's on the highway to Sacramento.

It's actually getting closer to Sacramento than it is to San Francisco proper.

So that's Salano County, this very

agricultural sort of breadbasket, pretty like a pretty chill area in general, very, I mean,

not as economically prosperous as other parts of the Bay Area, but definitely known as farmland,

right? And there have been farmers who've been there for generations to generations. And a few years ago, a mysterious buyer called Flannery Associates started

buying all of these farmers out of their land, sometimes bidding, I think, up to four or five times

what its market value was at the time. And it's only been recently revealed,

and I forget if the New York Times broke the news or how it was,

or they actually did kind of leak it or unveil themselves,

that it's actually this consortium of Silicon Valley folks

who have spent now, I believe,

$800 to $900 million,

buying up a huge chunk of Solano County farmland.

And they're now going to build a city called, well, I don't know if they're going to call it California forever, but that's the name of the project.

So it was, it was really a mystery.

It was mystifying congressmen.
