I suppose one of the first goals for a city should be for and towards mobility. Simply put, just having the privilege of just walking around?
for example, currently parts of LA are actually shut down to just allow bicyclists, which is great for pedestrians?
first I think like, for a small local city, typically cars are actually not good. Cars are good for like traversing very very big long distances,… traditionally great, if you had to drive very very long distances.
first I think the priority of a city should be Walk ability. Bicycles are like good, but I still suppose the downside is… still, the purpose and priorities should be for and towards walking?
Also, Civic virtue I think also believe is, having children having them go to the local school etc. maybe the general idea is like, if you’re a young single person without kids yet… The priority is towards one day having a kid?
my general typical thought is certainly there are good virtues of single living, but, eventually, the eventual goal is towards having children. And therefore living or presiding in the city which allows for or encourages raising children?
I think the critical problem is, from a practical perspective, a city which in no children are being born, there will not be a future city. Therefore public schools are a first priority.
I also then believe, the virtue of a city should be for and towards, being able to cultivate virtue? Civic virtue?
Ideal city?
I also suppose a general thought is, all these philosophers like Plato even Aristotle etc. have been philosophizing for and towards an ideal city? But, for and towards what?
I think first, the first simple goal is nobody wants to live somewhere in which they feel miserable.
also I think a critical thing to consider is, sometimes cities change sometimes they do not, sometimes you change actually, you always change.
…
Happiness?
something that is not really discussed or thought about, a city that actually is beneficial for and towards, physiological health and thriving?
because I think the simple thought is, regardless of where you live, how you live etc.… All the money in the world is not worth a night of lost sleep.
