Briefly

California Forever's decision to retract its referendum shows the challenge of securing public support in urban development, emphasizing the crucial role of government in addressing housing shortages.
The project reveals the backward approach of California Forever, which underestimated the complexity of building a new city without active governmental involvement, leading to an impending reevaluation.
