Nevada bill would allow tech companies to create governments
Some members of the Georgia legislature tried to pass a bill about a decade and a half ago that would have allowed property development companies to set up their own local governments. They would have been HOAs on steroids, extending the power of the developers, and later the property owners, out of the realm of civil enforcement and into that of state backed government.  The developers wanted it because they wanted to go beyond just building subdivision and get into building entire masterplanned cities, which would happen in phases over decades. That&#x27;s difficult to do when there are pesky residents getting involved in everything once the first residential phase is completed. Think maybe the Great Recession killed it off but it certainly wasn&#x27;t popular in the press or with community groups so it might have been defeated even if the economy didn&#x27;t sour. Bet we see this idea or variations of it keep coming back over and over again.
