How much would it cost to build a town from the ground up?

[TridenT]

A town or a city? Simple answer... Hundreds of millions. (Easily into the billions with each house costing 200k)

depends on what ya want in it?

are we talking a "town" like NYC...

or a "town" like an old west frontier town?

the more ya want.. the bigger it is.. the more its gonna cost.

Realistically, you could do it for well under a million.

Providing utilities will be pretty costly...
