WELCOME TO PROGRESS CITY! Welcome to the future! Now, please scan your LifePass™ to enter. Chris Conidis

Welcome, Esteemed Future Progress Citizen, to the ultimate pinnacle of human achievement! Yes, from huddling in prehistoric caves, scared of thunderstorms and drawing stick-figures on the walls, all the way to now—oh, the journey we’ve made! If your ancestors could see you today, they’d have tears in their eyes, or at least a confused stare at your smartphone. Behold, Progress City: the final frontier of true evolution—now with more Wi-Fi and less patience than ever before.
In Progress City, we celebrate every phase of human advancement with architectural wonders and visionary planning that will leave you awestruck—at how little your rent covers. Imagine living in a metropolis so advanced, even our grocery stores are mini-museums of humanity’s favorite pursuit: consumerism. If early humans moved from fire to agriculture, and from the steam engine to space exploration, consider Progress City the ultimate destination in the human saga, where we’ve advanced far enough to pay for oxygen as a “premium lifestyle choice.”
Why Settle Here? Because You Deserve a Slice of the Future—No, Really, It’s On Us (For a Fee)
Here in Progress City, you don’t just live; you thrive. Or at least that’s what our marketing team says. You’ll find towering skyscrapers that gleam with reflective glass—doubling as urban greenhouses when they concentrate sunlight into beams hot enough to cook a pizza right on the sidewalk. We’re redefining "modern architecture" with buildings that serve one of three critical purposes: offices, luxury apartments, and mega-malls. If you can’t tell the difference between them, that’s by design. It’s minimalist! It’s cutting-edge! It’s, well… efficient.
From Caveman to Corporateman™: Progress City’s Exclusive Path to Success
Imagine it: your ancestors banged rocks together to make sparks, and now you can pay for the privilege of “instant connectivity” so you can respond to a Slack message at 2 a.m. That, my friend, is progress. In Progress City, you’re not just part of society; you’re a cog in the innovation machine—working tirelessly to fund the next big breakthrough. The Romans gave us aqueducts; we give you rooftop infinity pools, complete with hourly networking sessions. And don’t worry about “work-life balance”; in Progress City, every moment is optimized for productivity. You’re never too far from an office because you live in one. And who needs leisure when you’ve got quarterly goals?
A Lifestyle for the Brave—And the Bank Account-Rich
Progress City offers a unique lifestyle for the truly evolved: the best in high-rise, high-stakes, high-interest urban living! Gone are the days of “space” or “nature”; here, we have converted even the smallest patch of green into a perfectly manicured, Instagrammable background. Each condo is strategically designed for maximum productivity and minimum relaxation, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can see the city and your future slipping away in perfect symmetry.
Our “community” amenities are unmatched. Need a quick getaway? Try the elevator—now enhanced with a “Silent Social™” feature that allows you to avoid eye contact and exchange life stories with complete strangers! Craving a little “me time”? Our gyms are open 24/7, conveniently packed to capacity during all hours so you can practice those crowd-dodging skills—an essential talent in the Progress City workforce!
Welcome to a World Where Progress is a Brand™ and Efficiency is King
Here in Progress City, we’ve mastered the delicate art of making you feel like you’re moving up while standing still. Just think of our transit system, meticulously engineered to give you the authentic experience of being “almost there” for hours at a time. Or our advanced digital infrastructure, where every scroll and swipe brings you closer to understanding why everyone else seems to be having a better life than you.
And let’s not forget our leadership! In Progress City, we don’t have your average mayors and council members; we have Visionary CEOs of Urban Growth™ and Chief Efficiency Strategists™ who have mastered the fine art of using empty buzzwords to justify a six-figure salary. They promise “innovation,” which really means rerouting your favorite park into an extra parking lot, because who needs trees in a world as evolved as this?
Reserve Your Spot in Progress City: The Future, Wrapped in Glass and Sold as Luxury
So, what do you say? Are you ready to move from the prehistoric wilderness of nature to a metropolis that mirrors every achievement of humankind? Where we replace genuine human connection with Bluetooth? In Progress City, the dream is alive—on life support, maybe, but technically alive.
Join us in the city of tomorrow, where every morning you can look out from your 47th-floor balcony and marvel at the beautiful glow of digital billboards, casting an ever-so-slight shade of existential dread across the skyline. This is Progress City, where we’ve taken the past, turned it into a purchasable experience, and made your future a monthly subscription.
Welcome home. Or as we like to say, “Welcome to the upgrade.”
