People are quoting sci-fi examples but they have been tried (and many failed) in the past. They are cities built, owned and operated by a corporation like Ford with Fordlandia in Brazil. Rent? Shops? All company-run.

Technically Disney has their own special district in Florida and have a lot of Government-like powers over it.

Oh so it’s a company town?

Round here we learned what do do to them. We fucking kill you if you try.

Good on you guys, corpofascist bullshit shouldn't be tolerated.

As for Disney and DeSantis fighting it out over each other's bullshit and the special district, "let them fight" comes to mind.

Do people live there on a permanent basis though or does it just run a commercial enterprise?

Fordlandia failed but that was the idea: work, live, and spend your money there.
