or perhaps not

any attempt to build such a city is bound to run afoul of the Constitution sooner or later. It probably would fail for other reasons before the feds moved in.

Christian attempts to set up fundamentalist settlements have always failed (Jim Jones) and don't even get off the ground except as remote colonies like the Pilgrims. Like MA says it is always the children that change things eventually.

I had a state more in mind and I am all for sovereign states choosing their own path as long as they understand that freedom ends at the nose of the first person standing on the other side of the border.

Oh for the day when those who choose can move off planet and set up whatever they desire. I am pretty sure that the difficult task of settling a new planet would negate interplanetary meddling for eons and soon separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of political and religious philosophy.
