California Forever CEO Jan Sramek is getting plenty of feedback from his new neighbors at town halls he is hosting in Solano County to pitch the utopian city he wants to build in the eastern half of the county with backing from some of Silicon Valley's tech billionaires.
Among the 150 ranchers and other local residents who showed up last week at the American Legion hall in Rio Vista were several Solano County land owners who asked Sramek to drop a $510M lawsuit he has filed against them.
California Forever has alleged that ranchers and farmers in the area colluded in an effort to raise land prices while Sramek and his friends, calling themselves Flannery Associates, was spending close to $900M over the past five years to purchase more than 50,000 acres in Solano County.
