The article discusses the concept of 'freedom cities' in the U.S., highlighting opinions from various experts. Allen suggests that despite ample investment and political determination, regulations hinder tech advancements. Conversely, Duran raises concerns about the societal implications of creating areas outside legal constraints. Goff explains that while freedom cities may mirror tax structures of existing cities, they will differ in regulations, potentially affecting industries like biotech, as noted by Minicircle's cofounder who envisions a community thriving on gene therapy.
"There's so much capital and there's so much political will, but yet there's an inability to develop these technologies," says Allen. "And the inability comes from lack of space and too many regulations."
Gil Duran, a former political consultant, warns that building new cities could have negative consequences. "To be outside of the law and above the law, what does that mean for the rest of the country?" he asks.
Goff compares freedom cities in the US to Próspera, noting that the regulatory differences, rather than tax regulations, would define these new cities' character.
Minicircle cofounder Mac Davis emphasizes the advantages of freedom cities for biotech, envisioning a "longevity city" where advancements in gene therapy can thrive.
