Elon Musk has paired up with Lennar, the nation’s second-largest home builder, to build a subdivision outside Austin, Texas, where Musk recently relocated some of his companies’ facilities. As Alissa Walker writes in Curbed, “The proposal is called Project Amazing, because — like all of Musk’s endeavors — it begins with a stupid joke.”

Details on the development—also like many of Musk’s endeavors—remain murky at this stage. As Walker points out, “Musk has built quite a bit of housing on the actual Boring Company campus, where rows of manufactured housing installed on the property as well as common areas including a playground are easily observable from the road.”
