are being accused of using “strong-arm mobster techniques” to bully residents — and local officials say their plans to build a utopian city won’t go through without a fight.
“The strong-arm mobster techniques that they have used to acquire the land raise very, very serious questions about their integrity,” said Garamendi, a senior member on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Garamendi and Moy both said they first learned the names of the group’s backers after reading news reports last week.
The land owned by Flannery is also subject to federal regulations, including environmental laws related to endangered species that thrive in the area. “It’s incredibly stupid…no developer would ever spend $800 million without talking to local officials, but that’s what they’ve done here,” Garamendi said.
