California Forever announced plans for Solano Foundry, a massive 2,100-acre tech manufacturing park within its planned utopian city near San Francisco. The park aims to attract advanced manufacturing and AI talent by offering modern facilities, renewable energy, and convenient transportation.

Why it matters: Solano Foundry aims to revitalize U.S. manufacturing with a people-centric, well-connected tech hub near Silicon Valley.

The big picture: The project is part of a larger vision for a walkable city with 175,000 homes, blending tech innovation with sustainable living.

The stakes: Success depends on attracting top talent away from remote, undesirable factory locations, addressing longstanding manufacturing challenges.

Commenters say: Many express curiosity about what makes the city "utopian," debating feasibility, sustainability, and the appeal of a tech-driven community.
