Nogas

I have friends who are Thinkers: folks that sit around and philosophize about this, that, and the other thing. I love and admire that trait. For some reason my mind doesn't work like that. My thoughts most often come in the form of reading rather than calling upon my thoughts to wander. To each his own, right?

Well, I'm happy to report that one idea keeps popping into my head: Nogas.

It's a town.

I image the plans of a town where no gasoline is used, rather transportation is by bike, foot, and silent propulsion like electric vehicles. The layout would be around a central area for recreation and commercial activity. High density housing would allow for shortened commuting: without excessive sprawl a bicycle would be extremely fast. The town would thrive on green industry and tourism. Quality of life would soar with a physically fit population. The city would be full of sounds of people and nature rather than rushing cars. With no transportation emissions and significant green electricity development, air quality would be fantastic.

Certainly there are some flaws with the town, like saddle sores and disposing of old walking shoes, but nothing that can't be handled.

Would you join me in Nogas?
