I just don't buy it.

The brand new $1billion ghost city in New Mexico with enough room for 35,000 people...where NOBODY will ever live
Telecommunications and tech firm Pegasus Global Holdings is building a full-scale model of an American town in the New Mexico desert
They plan to open up the town, named CITE, to researchers experimenting in the fields of transport, construction, communications and security
Since no one will live in the town, researchers can test their experiments without any threat to people

The American west is littered with ghost towns - frontier villages that were abandoned with the end of the Gold Rush.

A town in New Mexico is about to join the ranks of these ghost towns, as the builders of the futuristic city have no intention of letting anyone live there.


Telecommunications and tech firm Pegasus Global Holdings is planning to build a full-scale American town in the New Mexico desert, a place which they hope to open to researchers developing technologies for modern living.

Pegasus plans to spend $1billion creating the 15-square-mile town, called CITE, with construction to begin sometime next year and opening as early as 2018.

CITE will include a town big enough for 35,000 people, with a business district downtown surrounded by terraced housing suburbs - but no one will ever live there.

Instead, companies will have the opportunity to test such innovations as driverless vehicles and natural disaster-proof homes in a human-free, practically risk-free, environment.

If some company wants to build a city at their own expense in order to ATTEMPT to lure suckers into coming there to do experiments under perfect (no human involvement) conditions, then who is harmed here? The outfits blowing cash here, however numbskulled their premise, are not doing it on my dime.

Yeah, that's the premise, but truth is, all these companies have been afforded taxpayer research funds.
So yeah, on the surface, it's a private entity, funded by private Co's, but the truth is, you and I paid for it.
But I have a question. Why would you test driver less cars in a city that has no human component, like that of a large warehouse devoid of life?
Seriously, what real world experience from a place that has no real world component?

What a curious project.  I wonder if this is one of those self-contained cities. 

It has a security belt around the whole project.  What does that consist of?  It also has it's own wind, solar and geo-thermal power area, water area, agricultural area, etc. 

The town is only 7 miles square.  Could it sustain 35,000 people in homes, jobs, water, power, food, etc out in the middle of the desert? 
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

In this day and age I think it would be very possible as long as you have the water.

The Cold War answer would be to staff the city with native-speaking islammies or Chinese, then assimulate our agents to living in their culture before we actually send them over.

Russia did that in the 60's, building an American town in Siberia. 

They modernized the phenomenon with Potemkin... playing a trick on Catherine The Great.

Nature gets into the act too, with monitor-lizards digging elaborate dead-end tunnels.  And sea-denizens' fake coral-reef shenanigans.
