Presidio, einst ein Militärstützpunkt und heute ein öffentlicher Park, umfasst 1.500 Hektar Bundesland innerhalb der Stadtgrenzen von San Francisco. Fans des Freedom City-Konzepts haben den Standort schon lange im Auge. Im März 2023 machte Präsident Trump dies zu einem Wahlversprechen. Heute begann er, dieses Versprechen einzulösen, indem er alle Vorstandsmitglieder des Trusts, der ihn leitet, entließ.
Amerika hat bereits so etwas wie Freiheitsstädte. Die Stammesnationen der amerikanischen Ureinwohner sind bis zu einem gewissen Grad autonom und selbstverwaltet. Aber Anhänger der Freedom Cities wollen mehr Autonomie als Stammesnationen. Stammesnationen unterliegen den US-Bundesgesetzen zu Umwelt, Wissenschaft, Technik und medizinischen Vorschriften. Gerade von diesen will Big Tech frei sein.
Wird der Wunsch der libertären Big Tech in Erfüllung gehen? Das haben sie bereits getan in Honduras gelungen. Der US-Kongress ist möglicherweise nicht so begeistert. Die Gründung eines „Staates im Staate“ hat viele Nachteile und wird wahrscheinlich kaum auf öffentliche Unterstützung stoßen. Aber die Leute, die es wirklich wollen, haben jede Menge Geld und käufliche Politiker auf ihrer Seite, also wer weiß.
Baue die Presidio Freedom City
Trump entlässt den gesamten Vorstand des San Francisco Presidio Trust
The US government has moved closer to establishing an autonomous, self-governing libertarian enclave for Big Tech within San Francisco.

This is madness. How can anyone in their right mind approve a state within a state. This should not happen. I hope better sense prevails and this is not approved.
I suppose this is better than doing it the traditional way, which was to invade part of Africa and set up a colony.
We are on a march towards [Dark Enlightenment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment), a future all the cyberpunk dystopia fictions warned us about.
Can we move them all there, then lock the gate and cut the cables?
Anyone want to bet on how long it takes until they’re overrun by garbage and things start breaking down? Every libertarian experiment eventually discovers the role of government in solving coordination problems
That „Build the Presidio Freedom City“ article makes zero sense. He starts by complaining how long it takes to build a new bart station… Does he think the Presidio is going to magically have it’s own transit system not connected to the rest of the bay area? How would that even work?
It’s basically a bunch of BS to try and do a real estate developer give a way in the middle of SF and then scream „hey SF you need to spend money to connect us to your services now“.
Is the plan to demolish the existing buildings? Boot Industrial Light and Magic out of the letterman hospital? Limit public access?
Absolutely fucking not!
If they want to experiment in some far off rural exclave, fine. But destroying one of the nation’s finest public urban parks and privatizing it for some billionaires? No fucking way.
Lol it’s so obvious that these assholes just hate America, and yet conservatives fall over themselves to vote for this while draped in the flag
How will they handle the utilities?
They will need to pay extra to handle their own roads, sidewalks, and storm drains. Where will they get water and power? Will they have their own sanitary sewer or septic system?
If they get to tie in, make sure those impact fees reflect this nonsense. Get your money San Francisco.
This dystopian techno future is so hyperbolic.
We know everything Silicon Valley does is 90% Wall Street bullshit to move money.
Call me when Elon gets to the mars, or has fully atomized driving in his Tesla cars even.
I mean they have allowed fringe groups within the Mormon faith that have been allowed to have communes etc. I am not seeing much difference here.
All about control. Don’t fall for it . No crypto either. Been warned
Basically what they want is for corporations to officially be above the law. They pretty much are already, but this is still disturbing.
You set up an area and call it an autonomous zone, people freak out about communism and lambast the whole thing. You get a bunch of people with more money than sense doing the same thing, calling it a „freedom city,“ and people soil their pants with excited praise, thinking it won’t go the same way as the autonomous zone.
Sounds like some asshole read Snow Crash and thought „Ah, paradise…“
Y’all, read about Night City from Cyberpunk 2077 or Seattle from ShadowRun. I know not everyone is Cyberpunk genre fan, but… It bears pointing out this is going to happen without Neon and Cyber limbs.
Corporate enclaves are the plan, and they were written about in the 80’s. Tax the shit out of them.
