Long story short it comes from when Honduras about a decade ago decided to give private cities a try. Program called ZEDEs. Since then many things have happened including that law being declared unconstitutional. Also if you ask an everyday Honduran on the street most would tell you they don't agree with the concept. Essentially giving up sovereignty in exchange for what exactly? Many large investments were promised and never materialized. So this cities are nothing more than glorified, small, gated communities. Some have a little bit of industry, but nothing significant producing value or jobs so get the public support. A few hundred jobs have been created, and unless that amount 100Xs at a minimum it's irrelevant in the economy and thus Honduran people rightly ask: why should we give up sovereignty for a few dozen gringos to have a gated community?
So if you ask me I don't even see them existing at all over the next few years
