A group of tech and finance billionaires want to build a brand new city in northern California.

The project is called ‘California Forever’, and aims to build a city of roughly 400,000 people on 60,000 acres in Solano County, northeast of San Francisco.

The goal would be to create a city that’s pedestrian-friendly with apartments and townhomes, but no large single-family homes.

Backers of the project include LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, and Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

California Forever hopes to get its proposal onto a ballot initiave for the November election.
