People have tried to build Utopian communities before. And it has always worked, every single time. No issues. That's why I support this.
To be fair, just because other people haven’t been able to succeed doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. You should look at why things succeeded/failed and figure out the exact problem and the best way to solve it.
That being said, I don’t think they’re building a city that would solve problems for humanity. I believe they’re a bunch of billionaires who don’t want to live with us plebs and want to build Elysium.
I figured Billionaire Refuge would be built on an island like New Zealand.
Although, if the book World War Z is anything to go by, their little utopia will be overrun by hordes of hungry climate refugees.
