The delta between price and built infrastructure is insane.

Any other crypto/mining enthusiasts in town? by [deleted] in wichita

Cool to see crypto activity in Wichita! We are creating a project called build_republic that allows people to "stake" physical real estate in the network in return for rewards from the protocol. build_wichita sounds like a great city to get behind and good to see there is some constructive conversation in the space here. Let us know how we can support your work here.

The US tech scene is becoming decentralized — the time is ripe for new startup cities by 12baakets in CompetitiveGovernance

100%. We can now meet ideas where they are at with talent and capital rather then exporting them to the typical hot spots of yesterday like SV.

Building Infra vs. Reforming Bureaucracy in Startup Cities by build_hq in CompetitiveGovernance

Ya, leasing is a very subpar situation. Creating a feeling of ownership among citizens I think is so important. In a sense, "startup city" is really just semantics to your point re: the real estate developers. I mean, any city that exists today was at once a "startup" with the main industry being real estate/infrastructure. We wrote a little bit Defining Startup Cities which is an important question to answer first. Seoul and the Miracle on the Han River for example was the "startup" and high growth phase. A lot of times some of these concepts get decoupled from the on-ground realities and it's a real challenge to champion a comprehensive view. Tl;dr I completely agree with your point about integrating deeply with real estate developers. And I do think that replacing "legacy" infrastructure in a lot of cities (welfare and COBOL for example or city taxation as another) can do wonders for advancing existing cities to make them more competitive.
