Residents of Solano County are blasting shady tactics to get plans for a utopian city on the ballot.
A young man was standing by a folding table with a pen and a stack of paper when Claudia Wilde emerged from the Target store in Fairfield, California, last week.
But to get on the ballot, they need to collect 13,062 verified signatures by registered county voters such as Wilde. She, like many Solano residents, had been put off by the billionaires’“I said, ‘This isn't a California Forever thing?”’ the 70-year-old retired school teacher asked the man with the petition. “And he goes, ‘No, no, it's for better roads.’ I said, ‘Let me see.’”“I said, ‘This is California Forever,’” she recalled. “And he goes, ‘Well, you don't have to sign it.
“And I said, ‘I can’t believe that you’re telling me that I'm signing something about defunding Medicare and you’re pushing that on me,’” she remembered. “I’m like, ‘Do you realize what this is?’ He goes, ‘Yes, I know exactly what it is.’ I said, ‘Well, then why? Why would you push that on me after I came here under the understanding that I was signing a petition for defunding Medicare? Not this shit.
“And I was like, ‘Really?... Are you telling me the truth? Because I've been seeing that you guys are lying,’” she told The Daily Beast. “He kind of just looked at me and looked away and started asking other people for their signatures. I said, ‘Well, I’m gonna read this.’” She continued, “I said, again I don’t have enough information or knowledge about California forever and the planning so I’m not gonna sign and he got closer to me and then a real forceful voice said to me ‘and I said you don’t have to worry about asking questions we will ask all the questions.’”“He looked at me like I had done something to really upset him, he quickly took the clipboards out of my hands and gave me the dirtiest look.
The affordable housing pretext is particularly outrageous when you consider something that California Forever chief executive Jan Sramek said at an “American Dynamism Summit” put on by Andreessen Horowitz, the venture capital firm.with one of the firm’s general partners, Sramek talked about the residences that will be available in California Forever’s new city.
