Could Trump's proposed "Freedom Cities" (built on federal land) ever become Galt's gulches?

Things like this were tried at the dawn of the automobile age. Anyhow, it's thinking somewhat "outside the box." There might be some hope if it can be financed with private capital. If it's government (tax, printed currency) financed, it's a boondoggle.

    I watched Trump's speech on this and had mixed thoughts. Yes to the Fed giving up land to the people, but would this be another multi-trillion dollar government boondoggle in the end? Didn't China and North Korea build cities of no use? Good intentions here, but I'm sure the Neo Communists (Democrats) will have a lot of say and that will spoil the whole thing - let your imaginations run wild on that one.

    First the Elections must be secure , fair and legal.
    And all the swamp must be tried for crimes against humanity and treason. The Fed must be bankrupted and the Dollar pegged to gold. The Eurodollars declared worthless unless proven they were not illegally obtained. That said we do need a vision for the future and talking about having competition to find the best designs is a novel approach.lol
    Nothing said by Trump is a negative imo.
    This sounds like an idea that could be similar to a homesteading of federal land with a twist. I can see
    Many benefits of working from scratch to build a city.

    It just another form of control and more like a prison.
