Rich People Keep Trying To Build Cities

so you know how every year there's like

a new billionaire Trend like every year

they just start doing something new one

year it's like going to space the next

year it's buying up all the Farmland

well this year it just might be building

cities I guess it seems like the next

logical step in almost every aspect of

their life they have total control over

everything just not the government yet

so I guess if they sort of make their

own City with their own government they

will be in complete control of

everything that goes on in their lives

so this article on BET says Kanye West

is reportedly building a 100,000 acre

City in the Middle East in 2020 Yeezy

attempted to build his own city in

Wyoming but the state made him closeup

shop so a couple crazy things going on

there uh I didn't know that he was

building a city in Wyoming maybe I'm out

of the loop but I feel like I should

have known that so that already didn't

work he already failed once and he was

like you know what Wyoming is a really

difficult place to build a city that's

probably what was screwing me up I think

I would have much better luck if I try

in a totally different country a country

I don't live in don't know the culture

or laws as well also it just says in the

Middle East that's also not a country so

I think you're going to have to get a

little more specific my guy we

previously reported that Kanye West put

his Malibu mansion on the market now it

appears that he is moving East to chart

his own universe according to a post he

made on Tuesday December 20th from a

verified account named unreleased yay on

X formerly known as Twitter that can't

tell me nothing rapper is reportedly in

the planning stages of building a new

city in the Middle East I like that they

refer to him as the can't tell me

nothing rapper like that's what he's

known for hasn't done anything else

notable lately as far as I can tell he

was sort of a one hit wonder he released

that song back

in 2007 and he stayed relatively quiet

ever since I guess that one song made

him enough money to build a city but

that's about all he's been up to okay so

this is the tweet that they're talking

about on this profile called unreleased

yay I am a little skeptical of BET's

reporting here how do we know that this

is Kanye anything and everything with

Kanye's music I do not leak any songs I

only post already leaked songs okay it

kind of makes it sound like they're

admitting that they're not Kanye Yeezy

Drome FaZe one 100,000 acre City

piloting in Middle East recruiting

project managers Engineers Architects

contractors Builders okay so if this is

real then he hasn't started yet is the

vi I'm getting he's hiring everybody

necessary to make this happen also I

don't think that there could be a more

clear signal that he doesn't know how to

do anything related to building a city

cuz those are all the things that you

need like what is he going to do so I

need project managers Engineers

Architects contractors Builders and uh

I'll take care of the rest guys don't

worry you know I'll take on most of the

work I'm going I'll do whatever's left

you know that' be um that would be

landscaping and uh the king I'll be the

king as well this might appear to be an

overly ambitious Endeavor for some but

for the 24 time Grammy winner this is

familiar territory how so how is this

familiar territory it sounds like he

tried this once and it didn't work then

if the next sentence isn't that he's

already built multiple cities in the

Middle East before then it's not

familiar territory I don't even think

the Middle East is familiar territory to

this guy in October 2020 he was deep

into his bag of Brilliance when he

attempted to construct his own City in

Wyoming I don't think he was in his bag

of Brilliance it sounded like it didn't

work those plans were scrapped after the

state put a stop to his proposal which

was projected to be a hyper utilitarian

underground Zone that could fit 200

people what also I wouldn't really call

that a city he was going to dig a hole

that could fit 200 people that's not

that many he was really like yeah

digging my 200 person hole didn't quite

work out we ran into too many logistical

issues I think that building a

metropolis in the Middle East is

actually going to be slightly easier

more manageable yay also filed

trademarks for this venture's name

including Yos system yo system and Yeezy

firste good thing he locked those down I

can only imagine how many people were

clamoring to uh create companies called

the EOS system imagine living in a hole

that could fit 200 people and it's

called the EOS system even in this pitch

it doesn't sound nice it's not

describing some kind of utopian Paradise

a hyper utilitarian underground Zone

it's not even saying City it doesn't

even sound livable just sounds like a

big area we yeah we just dug out an

underground Zone it's hyper utilitarian

cuz there's nothing here that you don't

need there's also nothing here that you

do need it's just a hole okay so it

looks like we got some more info on

Kanye's Wyoming City here this article

is from March of last year the last

article was from December so this this

came earlier Kanye West anti-semitic

collapse has turned dream of becoming

world's biggest real estate investor to

during his Heyday Kanye West stated goal

was to become one of the world's biggest

real estate developers of all time but

shocking new photos of his construction

Empire including bizarre futuristic

domes reveal the true extent of his

crumbling Legacy oh yeah here they are

bizarre domes his world conquering

status as a fashion and music mogul

vanished and his real estate aspirations

including bizarre building developments

inspired by Star Wars have turned to

debris I don't know if they like were

they already debris to start with this

is just a oh we got a little before and

after photo okay here's before so here's

the here's the best it ever got and then

here's what it looks like now damn look

what we could have had we could have had

bizarre domes people the disgraced

rapper built the domes pictured in July

2019 to house the homeless and he even

invis invis is that a word envisaged

constructing entire cities with the Star

Wars inspired ltis I don't know if

that's a word so he wanted to house the

homeless in the middle of the desert in

these bizarre domes you know I

appreciate the sentiment of wanting to

house the homeless I do feel like

there's probably a less roundabout way

of doing that than creating a city in

the middle of nowhere made up of these

domes you don't have to invent a whole

new house type for homeless people they

would live in a regular house if you

gave them one I'm sure it's not like

they're homeless cuz they don't like the

shape of regular houses I guess is what

I'm trying to say not long after he

first constructed the domes in

California in 2019 West fell foul of

California's housing regulations after

he failed to get a building permit after

failing to ever obtain one the domes

were set to be torn down signaling the

start of his real estate Wes West had

even claimed that the structures were

only temporary but inspector

suspiciously found he had laid concrete

foundations first wait they were

temporary I thought they were supposed

to house the homeless you were only

going to do that for a little bit he was

going to have him live in the domes

until he thought up his next brilliant

scheme and even cooler shaped house have

you ever wanted to live in a giant boot

okay that's enough about Kanye's

futuristic city because now we're going

to learn about aon's futuristic city but

before we do that I want to thank

today's sponsor Sunday's food for dogs

Sunday's is a healthy dog food it's

fresh it's made from Human great

ingredients the ingredients list on the

back is actually really impressive it's

got things like beef beef heart beef

liver carrots apples Tomatoes but then

it just goes X Games mode and has

ingredients like shitake mushrooms

broccoli oranges

cranberries strawberries I really care

about what I put in my dog's bodies and

I've wanted to try fresh food for dogs

before but I've always been intimidated

because you need to refrigerate it it's

messy but this is air dry so it comes in

these like nice soft pieces that just

break apart super easily it's not this

dry crunchy kibble but you can just

store it pretty much exactly the same as

you would store K my dogs love this

stuff while I was transitioning them

from their old food to this food I was

actually just giving this to them as

treats and they loved it they would do

tricks for this stuff you buy it online

it ships right to your door so you don't

have to go to the pet store and lug

around a gigantic bag of dog food and

your puppies will thank you this stuff

actually posted this video 3 years ago

an introduction to Aon City I think I

remember hearing about this on the news

and I think it had something to do with

cryptocurrency like I think he was also

launching his own crypto currency and

maybe this has something to do with that

like the only way to pay an Aon city is

with acon

coin wait is this oh these are the

buildings I thought we were just looking

at abstract art while he was like before

we saw the city wao okay so wow this is

Aon City huh inspired by Dr Seuss are we

okay here's a very neat little

render oh

dude I'll give him this it looks

more fun than a so-called hyper

utilitarian underground Zone I think I

would actually rather live in one of

these like phallic highrises than a

bizarre Dome at least okay we got Resort

of Africa up here Resort chalets down

here African restaurant African open

Bazaar oh okay is this in Africa oh yeah

in Sagal okay if it's all in Africa I

don't think you need to point at

everything and call them African cuz I

think we would just assume that here's

all the African houses there's an

African building we're going to have

lots of African buildings acon Tower

media tower filming Studio 1 2 3 and

four office building parking structure

residential buildings it's kind of

interesting that he already has all of

the buildings planned out in awn do

towns do that when they start I thought

people just build what is necessary at

the time when it's necessary like the

first people who showed up to Los

Angeles didn't just like start pointing

and directing to build film studios here

there and there those only were built

because the film industry was like

becoming a thing there like what if the

film industry doesn't take off an Aon

land then what then what are you going

to do also are these filming Studios

African or what uh what ethnicity are

they

only 100 km from Dar that's pretty good

just a short 100 km swim through the

ocean from Dar so if you were already

planning on visiting then might as well

stop at Aon City while you're there you

know I'll give him this I do believe

that this was designed by Aon I mean so

I'm going to assume that this never came

to fruition cuz this was three years ago

I haven't heard about it since Travis

Scott I've got my own meal at McDonald's

Aon hold my pineapple beverage yeah well

I think the difference between those two

things is that the top one did happen

Travis Scott did get his own meal at

McDonald's as far as I'm aware this did

not happen every architect's dream but

every engineer's nightmare is that true

is this every architect's dream this is

what Architects dream about baby globby

globby cities they can't find a way to

make it happen I genuinely hope this

doesn't lose momentum the world could

use a win like this oh man now I feel

bad that this isn't going to happen this

person is so invested okay so I went to

the website that was in the description

for Aon City and I'm just on aon's Tour

website so I don't doesn't seem like

it's going to happen now the website

doesn't even exist anymore no I wanted

to live in acon city man friend where

are you me by the weird-shaped Chrome

building I'm by the weird-shaped filming

Studio okay now we've got a tick Tok

about what happened to aon's futuristic

city what happened to the real life

wakanda promised by Aon this futuristic

looking smart city is the brainchild of

ringtone Superstar Aon there's just one

huge problem it currently looks like

this he started it oh there it is wow

keep going buddy you're almost there so

this is what it's supposed to look like

and this is it now yeah it's pretty

close so this is obviously Film Studio

number three I could tell by the the way

it's shaped the 200 acre Metropolis

based in Sagal would feature skyscrapers

a luxury resort and recording studios

backed up with a cryptocurrency called

acoin ah okay so it did it was a crypto

scheme H was this all just an elaborate

rug pole he was like everybody buy my

cryptocurrency and then once you move to

the city you can use it and then you

know now this isn't happening and aon's

not doing it anymore I wonder what

happened there Steven's lawyer alleged

plans for acon city were akin to a scam

noting that it shares many of the

trademark characteristics of fraudulent

business ventures such as Ponzi schemes

and pyramid schemes Aon the whole thing

was a scam Aon you knew how much the

world could use a win like this faith in

humanity destroyed okay now moving on

from um musicians making cities we have

welcome to Zuck town where everything is

just zucky in menow Park California

Facebook is building a real community

and testing the proposition do people

love tech companies so much they will

live inside them dude I avoid going on

Facebook at all costs give me one reason

why I would want to live inside of a

town controlled by them so this is where

all your racist uncles are going to live

now they're all going to move to

Facebook Town John tain's Facebook's

vice president for Real Estate is

showing off the company's plans for

expansion it will have offices for

thousands of programmers to extend

Facebook's fearsome reach did John Tain

say that that's probably the journalist

talking that'd be so scary if Facebook

is saying that in their internal

meetings so we're going to use this city

to expand our fearsome reach we're

worried that it's not fearsome and and

widespread enough but that is not what

Mr Tain is excited about he leans over a

scale model of the 59 Acre Site which is

named Willow Village there will be

housing there he points there will be a

retail Street along here with a grocery

store and a drug store that round

building in the corner maybe a cultural

center maybe this round building you put

this round building in the plan and you

don't know what it's going to be yet you

know what it's going to be tell us what

it's actually going to be please and

this very specifically designed building

that we clearly put here for a reason

with a road leading directly out of the

city maybe in McDonald's I don't know

how crazy would it be if like Facebook

city looked exactly like Aon City like

all the buildings are blobs and stuff i'

be like okay maybe I maybe I'm just not

getting the trends of today I guess this

is just what they're all everybody wants

to live in blobs and domes now in just a

few years Facebook built a virtual

community that linked more than 2

billion people an achievement with few

precedents now the social network is

building a real Community the kind you

can walk around it is a project with

many precedents in American history

quite a few of them cautionary tales

about what happens when a powerful

Corporation takes control of Civic life

yeah that's the vibe I'm getting too do

I want John Tain and his merry band of

goons to be in control of my life I

don't even know this guy guy Facebook's

vice president for Real Estate I didn't

even know they had a vice president for

Real Estate why do they need real estate

stay online Facebook please stay not in

the real world Mr Tain contemplates the

audacity of building a city it's a good

thing right he says do you not know this

is good right people want this people

want to live at Facebook people want to

work at Facebook and live at Facebook

they want their whole life to be

Facebook right and finally of course

Elon Musk is getting into the mix too

welcome to snail Brook first look at

Elon musk's Texas utopian town where

SpaceX and boring employees will live

and work so this is for employees of

Elon musk's companies to live at it's

called Snail Brook which is a great name

for a town and I guess these are these

are pictures of it there are small

houses where staff from the companies

will be able to live for $800 a month

well below the soaring local market

rates are the houses uh in this picture

houses houses these these are houses

okay so you live here and you work over

here I assume maybe in there not the

most quaint neighborhood I've ever seen

there's literally like rocket ship

making equipment from within ey shot of

where you live yeah I don't like this

this is weird I think having a healthy

dose of work life balance is a good

thing I don't necessarily know if living

in a fenced in corporate neighborhood

provided by your employer sounds very

fun there are certain jobs where that is

like you have to do that I know like if

you work on a cruise ship you kind of

have to live at the cruise ship you

can't can't swim to work every day from

the mainland oh look at a little play

area that's nice so he lets them run

around in there that's cool snail Brook

sits in the middle of Green Pastures on

the outskirts of Austin which has fast

become one of the most desirable places

to live in the US to be clear they're

talking about Austin not this place this

place is one of the least desirable

places to live in the US musk his

girlfriend Grimes Kanye West and the

rappers architect held multiple

discussions over the last year about the

design of the Town uh-oh

that's not good Elon don't listen to

Kanye whatever you do do not take his

advice on how to build these houses he's

going to ask you to build temporary

domes and it's going to sound like a

cool idea at the time it's not he's

watching surveillance cameras are dotted

along the wired fence adorned with fake

leaves in the rural community oh yeah

that's awesome that's great I'd love to

just have the safe feeling of knowing

that my boss is watching me at all times

when he's watching over me I know that

I'm safe all right well in conclusion

uh let's just leave the city building to

city builders you know Kanye I saw in

your ad you were looking for Builders

and planners and stuff let's just let

them do all of it you don't even need to

hire them they're going to do it anyway

they love doing that stuff so let's just

leave it to them I hope you guys enjoyed

this video make sure you subscribe and

I'll see you guys next time bye-bye
