I am so old-school that I snail mail rather than email. I haven't reckoned up the total, but I must write to over 300 people all over the world. For that reason, postage in my town would cost far, far less than it does in the real world. There is something to be said that the postal folks (Post Office/Royal Mail) put the price up too high in the hopes that people will stop sending letters. There will be a post box on every street corner. Postal workers will get a good wage and there will be two deliveries of letters a day. Never mind parcels, letters people. There's a saying, "letters link lives", and they really do. A lot of loneliness and isolation would be vanquished just by people being able to write letters whenever they wanted and know that they will be delivered in good time.

I would not include any churches or other religious buildings in my town. In my opinion, religon causes divisions and opression. If any particular faith group wanted to meet, then they would apply to the chief of the town (me!), for permission to hold services in one building, just outside of town. That would be a plain building built especially for this purpose. One building for all faiths, with no gold fixtures and fittings, no costly materials at all. My town is not going to have a splendid cathedral that was built, while depriving people of the basics they need to live. I visited a particularly gorgeous cathedral in Chester in 2024. While it was indeed, very impressive. I couldn't help but wonder how many people could have been fed, clothed, educated, and housed for a fraction of what that building cost to create.

I am a Pagan, and in general, the world outside is my cathedral, mosque, synagogue, or temple. The Divine is presnt in the sea, in the rivers and the fields, in the trees, and the flowers, and in the clouds. Create a building of bricks and mortar by which to trap the Divine? Not in my town!
