An Introduction & Quick Rant
Hello CityDAO Members I’ve been a long time viewer of the project but really held off on participating financially because while i agreed with the vision of CityDAO I never really saw any clear plans on how to accomplish said vision, I always felt while CityDAO was far from a scam the projects foundation was built on moonshot ideas allowing for a great marketing opportunity during what we can see in hindsight and name the Crypto Bullrun
I’ve while sitting back and merely being a follower I’ve witnessed two hacks, multiple “failed” starts and now some calls for winding down the DAO - while financially speaking this may be in the best interest of DAO Members if the DAO continues to sit in what seems to be a state of hibernation, I do believe the DAO still has an significant amount of runway, productive assets and an active enough community to only achieve a return on capital from a financial perspective but also take real actionable steps to building a true city
A Quick Proposal Idea
This steps can include the opening of the DAOs land assets for Public Development by in sort of an open-sourced collaborative model by entering into “Ground Leases”
By creating and issuing these leases this will be a simple and efficient way for the DAO to generate revenue and “outsource” the development of current and future land assets
With each lease you can stipulate a set of restrictions similar to how Zoning and Building Codes work on a City level to restrict and/or incentivize a particular build this can go even further through the offering of private loans or grants to Leases (needing to meet a certain criteria first)
To facilitate this the DAO would have to spend an relativity small portion of of current DAO capital to commission the drawing up of site plan focusing on plot divisions, road placement and zoning (build restrictions)
A Note of my biases:
I am actively seeking an opportunity for partnership or collaboration with CityDAO and similar organizations such as KiftDAO, CabinDAO and CoHere Network to test, promote, and utilize our Protocol for Real World Property Transactions named The Deed Protocol
The protocol we have developed can streamline the process of Deed Tokenization through the use of an Nominee Trust or Dual Trust + LLC, the Subdivision of Plots and the Sale, Auction, Leasing and Financing of Real World Property (Land, Buildings, Vehicles, etc.)
