Citystarter - "Build yourself a city..."
Citystarter is an organization created for those who want to start their own free cities around the world or help others do so, seeking to serve as a meeting and development space, supporting the creation of new free cities.
Built with inspiration from the Free State Project, Liberland, Kickstarter, and with the lesson of Galt's Gulch Chile, we saw a need to create an organization that would support the creation of similar projects all around the world, to serve a global need for those who want to exit the society they happen to be born into and group together with those who share their values to form new free cities, on land or at sea.
Citystarter will provide online forums for the creation of new projects, think 'Kickstarter' but for intentional-communities instead of products. We will serve in a support and advise capacity, allowing project leaders to arise organically, propose their own projects on the site, as well as define their own funding model and trigger conditions.
Membership will be free and open to all. Citystarter will function on a donation basis, we don't want your money.
As for new projects proposed by members, they will fund however they think they can, from taking donations, to putting money in escrow, to perhaps even initial-coin offerings, and it will be up to the community to vet these projects and decide which to support.
Please subscribe, introduce yourself, ask questions, and keep an eye on our website as it develops and grows:
(Decades ago, the great writer and thinker Eric Hoffer transmitted a poem that has greatly inspired this effort, that captured his concept for how to move the world forward politically, it goes like this:)
"Build yourself a city.
Found yourself a state.
Do not cry for pity.
Grab and master fate.
Grab a swamp and drain it.
Cut the log and plane it.
Make the hill the valley field,
and on the man-made plain
breathe your last complaint.
Slay your shame,
forget your name,
do not cry for pity.
Build yourself a city."
~Eric Hoffer (video version here)

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
I think I have found the correct subreddit, someone cross posted a link to my website that outlines the private city we are going to build in and around on old mining ghost town in Colorado.
The name of the endeavor is the Eureka Project and my co-founder and I want to explore some experimental ideas in public administration based on decentralization and capital reinvestment.
We also have land in Wyoming and Oregon we intend to employ some of our ideas about decentralized and privatized townships.
Interested in any and all comments, questions, or new and innovative ideas.
