California Proposes Building New 'Supercities' to Combat Housing Crisis

Imagine California has a big housing problem where it's too expensive for many people to live there.

A writer named Zoltan Istvan has an idea: let's build brand new cities!

These aren't just regular towns; they'd be 'supercities' built from the ground up in places like empty deserts or unused land.

The goal is to make them affordable for everyone, like teachers and artists, who can't afford to live in the cities we have now.

The idea is that by building them from scratch, they can avoid all the complicated rules that make building new homes so difficult.

This would make them sustainable and a place where people who are priced out can find a home and a good life.
