Your Very Own City!

Results | Messages
I was inspired by another poll I created, Your Very Own Country!, to create this. If you were creating your very own city, what would you do? What decisions would you make that would be your idea of a utopia? Think hard! You'll definitely notice a lot of similarities between this and my country poll, but this is also definitely different, and more specialized. It's definitely long, but it makes you think! I'd be very happy if you posted your choices in the message area!
