Some of its investors include LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Laurene Powell Jobs and venture capitalist Marc Andreesen. According to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/californiaforever.com\/\">California Forever website<\/a>, Flannery has bought more than 50,000 acres in Solano County, which is nestled between San Francisco and Sacramento and close to the Travis Air Force Base.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo date, our company has been quiet about our activities,\u201d the group wrote on the website. \u201cThis has, understandably, created interest, concern, and speculation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The website details a vision for the area: walkable communities, local jobs, reducing homelessness, improvements to schools and public safety and investments in infrastructure. In the days since the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/08\/25\/business\/land-purchases-solano-county.html\">New York Times reported<\/a> the development, the project has received mixed reviews.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the secretive purchasing of the land, some members of the public suspected the project was an attempt by a foreign government to acquire land near the air force base. Newsom said it was interesting how quickly the \u201cChina track\u201d was brought up and is a \u201cpoint of consideration and caution for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Politico\u2019s forum, Newsom said the investors may have hurt their own credibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be candid with you. They started a little behind in my book because of the fact that they let so much intrigue and so many questions, so there\u2019s a lot more doubt now and a lot less trust,\u201d he said Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
