- "Yes, they sold it to someone. They didn't say who": A nearly $1 billion mystery to create a 'utopian city' is starting to reveal itself. The ABC7 News I-Team has learned new insight about a massive land acquisition in Solano County that was initially tied to concerns surrounding national security. abc7ne.ws/44yz3rm

Public records should be 100% accessible and transparent in ALL transactions of this sort!
Getting everything public is still a threat to national security. What should be is that only people with high clearance have access to such sensitive things.
Carful how you say that
Absolutely agree! Also, entities that keep their buyers/owners anonymous should be illegal. There are used to cover-up things the parties involved would rather not be seen, such as taking over a massive amount of a county, as well tax evasion and money laundering.
The state, county, and base officials seem to have not done their due diligence, everyone being clueless. Please continue following up on this story, as it impacts not only the base, but surrounding communities, and the Delta wetlands.
These records are accessable. They are the tax base of the area. It may take a little digging to find out about the company or group that bought the land but you can find out.
@@GuillerminaGonjonyou mean like all the top secret files that biden has stashed in various total unsecured locations?
Land and taxes are public records and should stay that way.
Now why don't you talk about how BlackRock and Vanguard is buying up all residential property and then raising its rental value?
Or how they are trying to buy up Muai
Maybe Blackrock owns big portions of media industry complex
Because ABC is owned by Blackrock and Vanguard. Not wholly owned, just a major chunk.
Shhhh your not supposed to say that. Watch your back . Keep your ears open. Be safe
They buy what they think will make them money. The crazy part is that “ai” property management platforms raise rents way out of proportion to inflation as a default. It’s strangling disposable income. Kids can’t buy a house because the ai will raise their rent until there is nothing left. Memory serves to get a place you need to concede your income data. It’s nuts. Good luck everyone
Their Utopian city was wrapped around 3 sides of an USAF Base. Who the hell wants to live under flight paths? This is an outright lie. So they sold it. WHO did they sell it to? Another of their shell companies?
Im sure they have plans to later use their wealth to bribe politicians and the pentagon to close the base so they can buy that for a private airport. Because the wealthy can do whatever they want to in America.
The federal government should investigate for possible security breach. This is too close for comfort.
My guess China has Shell Corporations all over the US ! This needs to be investigated thoroughly and your Representatives and Senators need to get involved!
WEF trying to spy on the AF lol
This whole utopian city thing, their suing area land owners, the whole thing stinks
No one will live under a military flight landing path it's forbidden by feds in case of plane crashes on residential homes . There is no water out there. There is huge wetlands the land purchase borders on that could be threatened by notification and runoff by paving.
Shouldn’t it be public record who it was sold to?
It is public record. Unfortunately the members of some LLCs are not public. There are good and valid reasons for that as well as bad, nefarious and fraudulent reasons. It's a mixed bag.
Yeah. The initiator of an LLC is quite often a lawyer or attorney starting the entity on behalf of a nameless client. And that could be anyone from any country.
IMO LLC shouldn't exist period.
Look up the term 'straw buyer.'
Yes but to corprates or LLC's are just fronts to other fronts .
Suing farmer's because they won't sell to you is Bullsh** and low. 🤬
They didn't have to sue. The entity was offering up to four times market value for parcels.
@@michaeltaylor5451Yep and once they don't sell they're dragged through numerous court proceeding so they run out of money and are forced to sell the land just to have money to eat. It's the same game big business plays with one another to try to destroy each others business. The one with the most money always comes out on top and buys out the competition cause the competition doesn't want to be drawn through a big legal battle that will break them.
@@michaeltaylor5451 so ??? doesn't matter if they were offering 100 times. Some of the land had been in the family for generations. Money ain't the issue виродок
*It happens all the time. Few people know that General Electric just STOLE the Light bulb patent from Thomas Edison claiming "OUR LAWYERS WILL KEEP YOU TIED UP IN COURT UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE"!!! Edison never fought General electric and their banker J.P. MORGAN for the light bulbs patent infringement since Edison knew he was "OUT-GUNNED".*
All this doesn't explain the strong arm tactics they've used against those who didn't want to sell.
You mean the same way the State and local governments take and by eminent domain?
Laws in America allow it!
In fact, it does explain the tactics used. The people behind this project are tech billionaires, and they're acquiring land ( not just in California ) on the down low. This isn't some altruistic effort.
No foreign countries or entities should be able to buy land in the US!!! How hard is this to understand???!!! There should be strict vetting procedures for any foreign entities and timelines to action these properties with purpose listed and also scope limited/restricted and defined purposefully.
Sooooo US individuals/entities don't buy land in foreign countries??????? How hard is this to understand??? People type dumb stuff and show their ignorance!
The land you're on right now was got how??
Lots of land in the US is owned by foreign entities. Vinfast recently purchased and is building a massive factory in NC. If you haven't been keeping up, they are a Vietnamese company that makes shitty but not inexpensive EV's. All the major Asian auto manufacturers have plants on US soil. And that is just one industry.
@@jeremymckenzie6038show me Americans buying land in China next to Chinese military bases or even Russia. The Chinese have no problem locking up Americans and calling them spies, you small brains.
Well you see you would think that. But since 2020 there has been a land grab, no matter what any of these other fools tell you, we are seriously being sold out. But keep scrolling TikTok America. Keep fighting over racism and what a freaking woman is. smh
No foreign entity should be allowed to purchase any land within 100 miles of any Military installation.
No foreign entity should be able to buy farmland.
Or any land on US soil.
@@nickcallahan3781not open your ears. Only Americans should be able to purchase land. Makes perfect sense to me. How can it be racist when all races can be American. America is the most diverse country on the planet.
@nickcallahan3781 LMFAO oh your 1 of those people. How is that racist?
How about not be able to purchase at all.
If the land is a national security risk, then WHY doesn’t the government buy it or enact eminent domain?
They do that with everything else..Good point
This story is getting more and more suspicious.
IT'S about the Tremors.. Yep they finally released the worm
All I know is , I'm sure they are going to expect a large return on their investment. They did not do this without a huge payout in mind. Also, how is this going change the political landscape of Solano County once all their people move in? Will future mayor/representative/city council members be in their pockets?!
When any company tells you there are “not currently any plans” then you can bet they already have plans
Why buy land that you have no plan of its use.
We Can Never PRESUME to Think that People Don't/Won't sellout their Own Country! You never know the hearts of men.
How much money did it take to buy Biden? Wasn't much.
WTF you mean? When these billionaires come with law suits and we have a corrupt af Gov right now? They have been selling off chunks since 2020 but people keep scrolling TikTok and watching Mainstream Media. smh Vote blue no matter who... smh
@chuckdeezy_313 😂😂😂The Republican & Democrats-Corporate America all sold out the U.S. decades ago!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The investigation might reveal that there's big companies working with agencies outside the US
It could be companies and hedge funds, agencies inside the US
Or not.
It's not, it's a bunch of Silicon Valley billionaires trying to build a city
If supporting and protecting the base was a top priority, how did they allow this to happen in the first place?
if u use ur brain u can somewhat guessed what happen.
Actually the fox was saying that about the hen house. 😁
@@iplayfoofee3547the land went up for sale and a foreign country bought it BFD but that doesn’t address the op question
If you use your brain you'll hear the words "years of secrecy" 😆
same tools the central bank dynasty use to get their way...
bribery
BLACKMAIL... think epstein
This isn't solved. They still can't prove where the funding is from. The investors say 97% is US investors, but it can't be proven yet.
97% of the investors could be contributing next to nothing and the one that's 3% could be the Chinese government paying all of it.
@@bentyler7927
All speculation.
You’re right
Food security is a mute argument when the land isnt being farmed... Dark money is the National Security issue.
"moot", not mute. Turned out it was a bunch of billionaires wanting to create a "utopian city".
I'm not buying that story, either!
They bought the land, questions were asked, they sold the land to an unidentified party, and the question "WHO" was not answered in this report!
China. Biden has to get his 10% first, though.
No foreign interests should be allowed to purchase land or properties in U.S. jurisdictions.
Try buying land in the CCP or Russia
No nation must have military base in Africa.
China owns 400k acres in America
you can buy land in russia or in any country as a private citizen
for civilian purpose
@@kennykalulushilombe8027China runs your mines
That is a lie!The answer to this question is a little complex. In China, all land is legally owned by the state. However, when you buy property, you’re acquiring the right to lease it from the government.²
Leases typically last for a period of 70 years. After this time, it’s standard for leases to be renewed. @@cnccarving
Lol too funny, “we wanna build affordable housing” people complain bout living next to an airport, what are homeowners gonna say bout living next to a military base…
Exactly, looks like a way to shut down the military base.
I live near an air base the feds restrict any houses built near a flight plan to the runway to minimize loss of life in case of an aircraft crashing on takeoff or landing
SOMETHING is still fishy.
What don't you understand? Rich people are building their own city because the Bay area is a shithole.
Did they ever get anything new about the Chinese bio-labs in California?
Crazy how that happened in MARCH and they even knew last year what was going on. *krickets
Take the property by eminent domain for national security. That would resolve all concerns.
@@harmonk8012 How true...they started to be warned in 2019...and it's just now being reported to the public. Sure wish I knew how we could hold them accountable while their in office and of course not vote them in again. I find that most people are just trying to survive month to month and don't even keep up with current events.
Face it, they have to build a new city because the Bay Area is a shithole.
So. You are for government taking private property? Wow.
@@zummo61 they showed support for taking american land from the chinese. check your outrage, princess.
@@jwn741 the Chinese came here to pick gold off the ground and sell opium.
Yeah! Congressional leaders will tell you the truth! Sigh
These are not at all trustworthy people.
Why aren't they trustworthy?
@@evening_streets because they are lying about who actually providing the money. Its not for a City or Steve Jobs Ex.
Its obviously "Foreign Persons" behind Flannery
Look on the bright side. Rent in the Bay Area will be cheap once tech jobs are gone.
@@evening_streetsto be able to make billions you must step on thousands of other people
Land sales are a matter of public record, Congressman. Why don't you have your staff FIND OUT who the buyer(s) are?
They know the buyer…it’s a corporation.
The corporation was formed in Delaware, which is to corporations as is the Cayman Islands to banking.
Delaware state laws make it very easy to hide who the people behind a corporation are. It should not be legal to hide business associations. Theses aren’t private people, with friends…they are businesses that do business globally, and that does make it a national security issue, as well as an internal criminal enterprise matter.
sketchy kants
I’d like to know if any of the Silicon Valley land owners receive “support” from countries overseas.
Of course they do….
"Travis is the gateway to the Pacific..."Could it be China?? Maybe?
@@magnuspym
Funny ...cuz U.$. has bases in Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Ryukyu, South Korea and soon in the Philippines...
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 having a base in another country is completely different from potentially surrounding another countries existing base if that is what’s happening here.
@@JtsTubes
Funny ... how can you "surround" a base inside of a foreign country.
it's only a "coincidence" that of all the possible land they could buy, would be this land.
We need a president with balls or someone to do something about this how the hell hard can it be at such high levels
Guess you missed the part where she said this started in 2018? Who was president then?
Lol
i don't know...this has been going on since before 2019, so who would you think would be the right person to fix this?
Exactly haha. How about issuing a FED warrant to see who, what, when, where, WHY???
@@only1muppet GD Biden lover 🤣🤣🤣
Somewhat reassuring... until the part where we don't know who bought it from flannery group .
This is nuts… can we just have the government take the land back thru eminent domain, until we know who buying the property
Silicon Valley billionaires are building a new Silicon Valley. Put a fork in the Bay Area.
Yeah, this is an actual national security issue. Imo, this is worse than the balloon.
So the feds can swoop in here, but it won't be good PR for the government... I can see it now. "BIDEN'S INVADING PRIVATE LAND NOW!"
Uh, they told you if you were paying attention.
"With hopes to build an 'utopian city' with affordable housing, sustainable land use... ." This is not what investors spending over $900 million are EVER interested in. Thank goodness this is being investigated, but this viewer doesn't trust ANY federal office to carry out such an investigation honestly.
Its the Chinese, enough with the nonsense
💯
The Bay Area smells like piss. But yeah, let's pretend we don't know why they're building a new city.
No one buys land unless they are a us citizen! They can rent land but NO BUYING!
This
delusional
Not even citizens can fully buy land, you will always be paying property tax
Unidentified straw buyer of sensitive land near Travis Air Force base should be avoided !
Why did the Government allow this and not buy it up to protect our national Interest? This is a smelly fish.
because the government does not care about our national interest.
Has Flannery Associates sold this land to foreigners or to foreign companies or governments?? This whole thing needs to be investigated.
Agreed
Don't believe a word they say at Flanery. When a developer comes in they show their entire plan to everyone. This is year 4?, and they are actively obfuscating the facts. That's billionaire speak.
Flanery is a shell company designed to hide information, likely foreign involvement.
No foreign companies or citizens should be allowed to buy land here. If you think that is extreme, well that is the norm in many countries. Many countries won't allow a non citizen to work or even be in their country for more than 1 month at a time.
Great reporting; dont' know who, dont know why, dont know what; keep up the good work.
It's the way 80% of "reporting" goes nowdays. You leave a segment with more questions that before watching it. But hey, they covered it and everyone needs to move on. NOTHING TO SEE HERE PEOPLE; MOVE ALONG!
"What does it even matter now, anyway?" - HRC
@@mikusoxlongiuswhat does HRC have to do with this?
Finally this kind of thing is being exposed. The question is when did they steal the land, and who did they steal it from?
China has been buying a lot of land including farmland.
Russia as well.
Mostly done by Chinese traitors ... laundering money out of China... tax evasion or illegal wealth.
So what’s China going to do with that land?
Should have total transparency, or should be condemned and seized by the United States Government.
Even a blind man would know that something is VERY questionable about all this!
Sold it to WHOM? Right hand pocket into the left hand pocket. Don't fall for this magicians misdirection.
At what point will we start protecting farm and ranch land?
Transcript excerpt: THEY HAVE TOLD ME IN THOSE CASES IT WAS PROPERTY THEY HAD TO BUY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE PURCHASE PROPERTY THEY WANTED AND THEY HAVE SINCE SOLD THAT
IRS: What
This story needs to be on national news every day and pressure put on our federal government to get to the bottom of this.😊
LMAO this current administration is probably deeply tied in with and receiving kickbacks for these purchases.
AMEN
@@EuroS50 Since the jurisdiction of land sales falls under counties, I doubt it.
My concern would be that it's a scheme to get that property into the hands of the CCP.
That was a great report……didn’t answer any questions…….well done.
They purchased the land so that when the base expanded, they could inflate the price.
It’s a re-educational camp for naysayers when next tyrant is installed on the throne
WoW !!!! 4:44 Four Minutes & Fourty-four Seconds To Say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!!
Even Less Nessmen on WKRP in Cincinnati. With His " I " Witness Weather Report is More Better !!! And Yes I Known That Was A Double Negative.
This should never happen. Public land should always have to tell who wants the land!
If this land is seen as sensitive to national security, why wasn't it owned by the gov't already? Something really stinks here.
The purse strings of the CCP run much deeper than most people think. These "devolpers" dont have Wang or Chin as a surname do they?
The Feds should just use eminent domain and buy all the land up near Travis AFB.
They wouldn't have to build a new city if the Bay Area wasn't a shithole.
Don't worry "They sold it." To yet another anonymous owner lol.
A buck an acre sounds fair especially since a lawsuit was filed claiming they overpaid.
It sound like a brilliant move for someone with bad intentions. You already have the base surrounded. You’ll have the perfect position to observe base activity to determine a time to hit. Or better yet, tunnel into the base. Wondering if this tracks back to China. China and Bill Gate own most of the farm land.
Be very concerned when people purchase land, especially in large plots, then starts flipping the land. You loose control of who is ending up owning that land. Laws are in place , but evidently not being enforced, to protect America from being invaded secretly by its enemies.
How did this happened, to begin with? Who sold these properties? And shouldn't the seller know that these are close by the military base? Someone made a decision here without disclosure with the local, state & federal government.
They say they want to build a utopian city? Yet the land almost completely surrounds Travis AFB. What kind of city is going to have an AFB in the middle of it. I call BS!!
I've driven into Fairfield many times picking up freight, pretty wide open spaces, and ripe for housing development. I believe the guys with the bucks didn't research the problems associated with huge wind farms, military restrictions, etc.
This could be a scheme to try to shut down the military base. Oh, the noise from the jets is too loud. Developments have shut down existing land use before.
Please remember, this land has NO Water. Making all their stories even more suspicious. Two things we humans need: air and water.
Strange thing is, why when there's shady dealings the companies or nonprofits are set up in Delaware????
It's the way Delaware laws are set up whereby you can create these companies with minimal paperwork, they pick one name (usually an attorney for the corporation) to act as a front. It's difficult to pierce but not impossible. Most corporate entities are set up this way.
Yeah... I think *this* is even when the most Anti-Government person goes; "Yeah that's gotta be taken care of by the Feds."
My mind cannot think of any reasonable; non-criminal reason to *dare* buying land near there.
Why didn't the Government buy this land when it was for sale??
Guess the ole' days when greedy rich people bought up land low to sell high to the railroad aren't over.
If the land was that "sensitive" the government should have bought the land. If the land was put up for sale the government had their chance to post a bid. You snooze, you lose.
@1:38 That's the security around Travis??????? A small barbed wire fence????????
That and they have their own internal department of defense police force, Air Force Base security personnel, and I'm willing to bet plenty of other electronic monitoring.
If the land is so vital to national security why was available to purchase? Why didn't the federal government buy it?
This administration sold us out.
Again
No super-genius this started in 2019. That's before douchebag lost to the current old fart. That would have been Trump's administration that sold you out, yet again.
Biden's hands are all over this deal!!!
@@Jewsfrommars I wouldnt be surprised in this was a deal HUNTER had his grubby little hands in. The Biden stink is all over this one
If this land was so damned important, why didn't the military buy it? Since when does anybody have to explain their actions?
What does Flannery want with the Iand around the base if not to build homes? Who did they sell some of the land to? They’re in the “preliminary phase” of plans to do what?
They're obviously building a new Silicon Valley because the Bay area is full of crime and drug addicts.
You would think our government would have a large buffer zone around all our important bases , common sense
Very suspicious to me!!!
I'm not a big government guy, but this is alarming because it makes no financial sense. If there is ever a time for an eminent domain seizure, this may be one of them. Officials need to get to the bottom of this one, and quickly.
Utopian city, like Lahaina. You know , utopia
Simple solution - The idiots sitting in the fed just need to buy it back from them and fence it off to protect not just the afb but in National security interest.
Good reporting. Thank you ABC News.
Flannery Associates needs to be asked why they were suing people who refused to sell to them. Seems like a dick move and we need an explanation on that.
Notice how the company is based in Delaware. Who has been in the government for the past several decades from Delaware?
Sickening how the news and those interviewed toss around concern for “national security.”. If only they placed this much concern for the safety of humans in SF and Oakland. I have no doubt that no-account bureaucrats will take care of the safety and security of the all-mighty Travis AFB.

These buyers are worst than your national security fear syndromes
Too bad we don’t have a real president protecting US security!
I will say the people and public in this part of the US are patriots and thank you for caring and looking out for best interests of our country.
All area around bases with-in a certain distance should be off limits like a buffer zone, but this would require US government purchase said land and when GSA does audits it will look like "excess". Hopefully there will be a policy or law in place that regulates a buffer zone so it wont be on any chopping block in congress.
Cannot believe this ruse got this far!! Chinese money MUST be pushing this project!
Best believe China has its fingers in this sale.
Whenever it's kept secret.... there's something wrong!!! How was this even allowed to happen in the first place??? 😳 I don't trust this situation at all.... no way!!! You know..... these individuals should not be allowed to operate in this country... period!!

Never.
But.....but they said they were just like the "small town residents". Worried about the little guy too.
If the land was so important to national security why didn’t the government buy it ?
Seems legit.
🙄
Why would you build a "utopian city" next to one of the busiest bases in the US?

They keep saying national security like it’s a hypnotic word to put you in trance. Sleep. Sleep. Obey.
Most of the time, you shouldn't talk to your doctor. They make it worse.
It all reeks.
"A utopian city focused on affordable housing, clean energy and sustainable infrastructure." Probably no natural gas, all electric, all solar, with heating and AC controlled, not by the homeowner, but from someone somewhere else.
is there a prison around there also LOL better check for tunnels in case they were trying to pull an El Chapo
Face it, voting blue has consequences. Say goodbye to Silicon Valley.
Now I'm imagining some Demon King Piccolo type of plan LOL
The government should have bought a buffer zone around the base. Eminent Domain should force whoever bought it to sell it to the government for the base.
