"As the Texas Tribune reported earlier this month, estimates taken prior to Starbase's incorporation found that the land had about 500 people living on it, with a bit over half of them being SpaceX employees."
"The vote to officially incorporate Starbase into a city was... a landslide victory, 212 voted in favor of incorporation, while just six opposed."
The formation of Starbase, Texas, a company town owned by SpaceX, poses a significant threat to residents' property rights. A leaked memo revealed that the town plans to implement zoning restrictions that could limit current property usage. Just 72 hours before a public hearing about zoning, residents are expected to review proposed maps detailing how land will be subdivided. Despite a successful vote for incorporation, many residents, predominantly SpaceX employees, may now face eminent domain-like circumstances regarding their properties.
