Community cafeterias. 1 caf per x (tbd) population.

• informed by national-level dietary guidelines
• very receptive to local neighborhood dietary preferences and encouraged to develop specialties
• worker controlled
• kitchen teams could swap/guest in other neighborhoods to mix things up
• you can go to cafs in other neighborhoods but there would probably be some system to anticipate demand to avoid over/under prepping (like you have a home caf but you can make reservation at another one?)

You can eat there or get take out.

Benefits:

• less food waste
• don't have to waste time shopping, chopping, cooking and cleaning when you don't want to
• will not have insane "chef" centered kitchen cultures, unless everyone working there votes in favour of this for some reason

Train racing. No I will not elaborate.

High speed rail running the 'spine' of the americas - people should be able to go from Alaska to the far end of Chille and not need to transfer (although one imagines a number of stops along the way)

Create a large network of state and/or cooperatively owned cannabis farms to mass-produce hemp for industrial purposes, and every strain of quality marijuana known to man. You think the weed's too strong these days? That's ok, the state will devote its resources to developing 10% THC strains that taste like a gourmet meal. You want to be sent to the moon? Why yes, there will be 99.9% pure concentrate oils widely available.

Just as the USSR had an alcohol ration, there will be a mids ration available for all. Any unclaimed rations will be distributed to the gulags to forcibly pacify political prisoners. While high and marginally more open-minded, they will be made to play video games where every character is a black lesbian and all the messaging is based on post-colonial theory. Only after their daily shift constructing and tending the farms is finished, of course.

Any questions?

Bringing streetcars and trams back to as many roads as logistically possible

Ban lawns. Like, completely. No more lawns. Having one is a punishable offense. I want children to report their parents on this matter. Merciless enforcement. EVERYONE with ground space MUST have a garden.

If you built a 5km tall lightning rod, it'd sap all the electrical potential from the clouds before lightning can form. There's gotta be a lot of electric potential there, given that it's enough to make lightning. Catumbo experiences 1.6 million bolts of lightning per year, and the average lightning bolt is 5 gigajoules of power, so harnessing it all would produce about 2.5 gigawatts of power, which is about the same as 2.5 ordinary nuclear power plants. This is clearly not worth it, let's do it.

I'd want to breed sapience into cows and have them join us in society.

Every multiplayer pvp game will be mandated to have an unskipabble 10 minute gay kiss/sex scene on startup.

Massive radio telescopes built into the far side of the Moon.

Hobby centers where all of the gear you would need to get started on various hobbies are available for anyone to use on site. Like a library loaded with tools, CNC machines, stuff for knitting, high end computers, art supplies, musical instruments and recording gear, etc. I would limit the ability to take things off-site only to people who cannot visit in person for medical reasons.

The goal is building community and encouraging creating things for fun. It would also promote innovation, art and music, etc, but that would never be the goal, just a nice side effect.

get this every street by law must have a sign saying its street name

also in the same vein as getting rid of the French influences from English I would make the way people in Norfolk speak the official correct way of pronouncing English that or the west country accent so we all sound like pirates

Make rokos basilisk real but exclusively target dipshit techbros. And genetically modifying humanity so I can eat all the unhealthy tasty food I want without getting some kind of cancer or turning into a blimp, or anything else really.

Arcologies. Entire cities built into single, massive complexes.

I'd pour massive amounts of money into arguably crank Bazinga ideas like Life Extension and proper Nanotech. I'd ban all cars and replace with public transport. Thorium power plants in every house! SPAAAAAAAACCCEEEE!

I'd make massive urban farming and gardening projects regardless of economic viability.

I also have Gaddafi-grade western fashion revival ideas. You will have to dress up for all evening events and no a Tuxedo is not gonna cut it. if you want a vision of the future it's an 1700s dance slipper brushing a human face lightly, forever.

I am also for the French Revolutionary calendar. Happy Basil Day!

End natural predation.

White people and even former capitalists are given the opportunity to be full, equal members of society

My thing would be to give people previously unhoused or disconnected to connect with one another to make villages just large enough to be self-sustaining. And they could do specific tasks or research that personally appeals to them with or without credentials/gatekeeping as far as education in our current systems.

I mean like communes I guess, but more goal focused - like a village of agriculture enthusiasts who want to grow and use local plants and resources to sustain themselves and track success. Or a village of people who want to repurpose old hangars to develop aviation technology or something physics related.

Honestly I just want to group together enthusiasts and see what they can make or discover when there's no worry about rent, no paywalls, and no profit incentives.

I think I'd like to live in a village somewhere isolated and low tech that focuses on spending large spans of time on personal projects and sharing them in a group setting like once a month. An introvert's paradise. I think there are cool things we can learn and create when given different safe environments. I know that people would really gravitate towards what motivates them when they have their needs met and given the opportunity to explore.

I'd also like the idea of education in general being freely available with certification only necessary in relation to human safety (medicine, nuclear physics, etc.).
