Why tech billionaires are buying up California farmland

‘California Forever’ is a project developed by Jan Sramek to create a new housing community in the farmland of Solano County, CA. The idea, an answer to the criticism that Silicon Valley only develops apps, means that many farmers in Solano County will be bought out or pushed out of their homes. New York Times reporter Conor Dougherty joins the show to tell us why and how it’s happening.
