Between the Towers were Vast Parks

or, i hate cars so much

i remember i saw this model city designed by corbusier or some such fellow and it was of giant highrises that looked like + from the air and they were a fair distance apart from each other and between them was vast parkland and under them were railways that also connected them to the nearby city.

but of course amerians don't like to live so close to their neighbors.

so then anyway you would have an aboveground raiway connecting the cities.

so you could go from your apartment in the middle of a park or a wood and get all the way to your friend's apartment in LA or new orleans or DC or toronto without ever even going outside or needing to be sober or needing to take your eyes off your feet or your book or even needing to be able to see or to have hands, for that matter.

but if you did go outside the air would be clean and there wouldn't be any monstrous highways to block your way.

and in the cities all the traffic would be either trucks carrying goods from train to ship to factory or taxis or public busses carrying people to and from the railstops which are all over the place anyway.

and the gov't would have to pay for all this and there would be a tax hike and if you don't like it i'll throw you in jail.

and if you're rich and try to leave the country to avoid paying your taxes i'll make my secret service make you disappear but really you'll be in a bunker getting cold water dumped on your head, just like in europe.
