How would you design the city of the future?
My city of the future would be self-sustaining; transportation would be free as well as healthcare, and neighbors would treat each other with respect. Best of all, employment would be voluntary. Also, government would be minimal.
Call me a socialist-I don’t care. Everyone would be happy and life would be satisfying.

Eat better, sleep better, exercise more, and avoid watching the ‘News’
