So where do you go?

I wanted to live in a truly beautiful city, in the classical sense. So I looked at Europe, and a few cities in the US. But the absurdity of taxation and bureaucracy kept me away

I wanted to live with the most ambitious, hungry, intelligent people. London’s rain is depressing. Dubai was not like its marketing. I met brilliant minds in SF & NYC… but again: taxation, immigration headaches, criminality

I had a glorious solution: Portugal. Sunshine, quality of life, a community of entrepreneurs from everywhere gathered in Lisbon, beautiful architecture, and 10 years without taxes on most foreign income, dividends, interests, rental revenue… But they killed that tax programme in 2024

Perhaps, like me, you have geographic freedom. You want quality of life and a highly intelligent community. So where do you go?

There are new zones of progress coming up. Remember Hong Kong? It started as an enclave that operated on a different system, which proved very successful: low tax, business friendly, smart entrepreneurs flocked in, followed by global companies. The model is evolving and seeding in new locations, notably on a Caribbean island. These zones of progress offer high quality of life, security, tropical climate, low taxation

One City Foundry partners with these zones to bring the physical layer: beautiful new traditional urbanism and new classical architecture, as well as the community layer: gathering a population of global citizens who want to live with their peers, those who want to live a life driven by personal growth
