    Why would they pay to live somewhere that’s inconvenient, no one would want to live somewhere inconvenient this isn’t a billionaire thing, it’s just a human thing. I don’t get why you’re mad that they don’t want to live in Wyoming. Who does?

      Im not mad, I just think it would be more intersting as a billionare to build a tech hub in a deeply rural state than 60 miles north of Frisco’. The dynamics and impact it would have to one of these deeply rural states would be fascinating.

      Setting up a vacation city a quick helicopters ride from your san fran penthouse is pretty mundane. If you want to do something stupid with your ill gotten gains, at least be interesting.
