The dream? Build a livable, affordable, eco-friendly community. California Forever owns more than 100 square miles of land here in Solano County, backed by Silicon Valley investors to build a new city. We're going back to what the Bay Area and Northern California used to do back in the 60s and 70s and 80s when it was the center. for high-tech manufacturing in America.

This new city will be entirely self-funded and sustainable. The innovation engine that we have in Northern California is really special and the fact that we are throttling it by not building enough housing is just crazy. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome California Forever's Jan Schramek. Good morning.

As you've just heard, I run California Forever, which is building the next great American city. And we are building it right here in California. And I know what all of you are already thinking, which is uh California, really? Well, uh where are we today? We are in California.
