Let's same I'm a developer and I want to build an ultra-dense hi-tech epicenter like Dubai in the 'States. Where can I buy land at the most strategic possible location? What areas have the loosest zoning policies that would allow such density?
In other words, what US areas outside NYC are most receptive to 21st century urbanization?
se oregon would be a good area for a big city, have a bunch of solor pannels and there making it so you can clean wast water and you can drink it so you dont have to worry about no water.
its safe from earthquakes and its kinda by the ocean
Start with a part of the United States that has massive amounts of oil wealth and is ruled by an absolute monarchy with no elections. If you can ship in foreign workers to be paid slave wages and live in inhuman conditions, all the better. Give it a few years, seems like this country is heading that way, good luck building the City of Kochistan!
WV, lots of undeveloped land (plus flat land from mountain top removal), cheap land, lots of energy sources (coal, natural gas), location proximity to East Coast, far enough away to not have immediate competition, and one heck of a workforce!

Dubai has a density of 408/km - it's an ultra low density city.
Zoning is set by the municipality. If you buy up a bunch of land in the middle of wherever and incorporate it then that entity can zone it how it likes.
You never know, Detroit does have the structure to be a massive city, it just lacks just about everything that is needed to be a massive city combined with having crappy lake weather.

Every part of the state is incorporated in a municipality in Massachusetts. So not Massachusetts.
