Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A City From Scratch
Q: What does investor alignment look like if the project succeeds financially?
Investors are motivated by real, tangible outcomes like affordable housing for workers, local job creation, and long-term community value, not just quick ROI; the project's success hinges on building a place people want to be in for decades.
A City From Scratch
Q: How do you attract manufacturing to Solano County when the established networks are in Silicon Valley or elsewhere?
By offering proximity-driven benefits, pre-approved land and a scalable path for expansion, and by combining R&D with manufacturing to create an integrated ecosystem that nearby cities and firms can connect to.
A City From Scratch
Q: Why do this in California instead of somewhere easier to build?
Because California is worth fighting for and the state has the assets and networks to support a transformative project; building here could unlock broad benefits and normalize this model for the future.
The surprising economics of the world’s most valuable asset
Q: Can you explain how rising land values impact productivity and inequality?
Rising land values create inequality, as wealth becomes concentrated among landowners, and they lead to less productive investment, hindering innovation.
Lessons of the Rare Earths Showdown
Q: In the Rare Earths dispute, what do you think China wants?
China is looking for negotiating leverage and to show that it can impose costs on the US, using its dominant position in rare earths to weaken domestic industries.
