the concept of this is interesting but like sequoias said it'll never happen.

It would be cool to establish a deaf city but it indeed is very tough due to lack of money, probably the top reason. (jobs, wealth, etc amongst the deafies/hoh)

If one happens, it need to be considered including jobs, wealth, weather, deaf resources/events, and especially deaf-friendly location.

Not enough rich deaf people, obviously so that is another issue I would say.

But will it (deaf city) happen, I doubt so too. Who knows.

Like someone said that it's much easier to establish a deaf community instead of a deaf city, true so. There are few places where deaf communities grew. (Austin, Indy, DC-MD, etc)(St. Augustine-Jax quite bit)

I prefer Deaf town/city than Deaf community because the hearing people are going to run the town where the connunity is and they might ignore the Deaf needs. That is why the town/city is necessary so the Deaf officals can focus on Deaf needs. Simple.
