My New City

Inspired by a podcast by Merlin Mann over at 43folders, here are a few things that I would want in my new city:

• Affordable housing
• Mixed neighborhoods
• Sidewalks that are just wide enough...not too big, not too small
• A kickass light rail system
  
• Walking! Everybody walking!
• Friendly shop owners and clerks
• Specialty stores galore
• A balance of natural beauty and built beauty

What do you want in your new city?
