Our Mission: Get Cities Unstuck
Cities are our greatest invention, but bureaucracy has trapped them in the past.
Cities are humanity’s greatest asset — dynamic, alive, and shaped by the people who call them home. They are where lives intersect, ideas flourish, and history is made. Cities have spawned our greatest inventions, defined cultural eras, and driven progress for centuries.
But California’s housing is broken and its urban design is deeply flawed. Layer upon layer of red tape has frozen our cities in time — robbing them of the dynamism that makes them thrive. Instead of evolving with their people, our cities are stuck in the past.
This isn’t just about housing — it’s about everything cities make possible.
Our housing crisis affects health, homeownership, and entrepreneurship. As we restrict and ban density, we don’t just drive up costs — we lose the magic of cities: the spontaneous, human-scale interactions that make them thrive.
A new path forward is possible, and it starts with us.
Rigid zoning laws and outdated regulations have made city planning an exclusive process — one that is slow, contentious, and disconnected from the needs of everyday residents. Ambitious projects get tangled in bureaucracy, delaying progress and driving up costs.
Citispur’s mission is to unleash that magic through hyperlocal, community-led real estate and urban design projects. By seeking project approval at the ballot box through land use initiatives, we can cut through red tape that would otherwise hold ambitious projects back.
This unlocks new value — saving time, cutting costs, and reducing risk. That value is shared directly with residents through a Guaranteed Citizen Dividend — a cash payment upon project approval, no strings attached.
This is a unique approach: residents propose, plan, and design projects that they approve — and financially benefit from. By aligning power and incentives, we unlock a bold new future for California’s cities—one that leaves behind bureaucracy, conflict, and stagnation.
