		<description>I liked a few of them... 

Tree plantings, living roofs on bus shelters, and making bus stops more convenient are good ideas.  These are easy, local things.  

Banning subsidized sprawl is probably good too, depending on implementation.  Banning all subsidies entirely would be even better, of course.  :)

Ending corporate personhood is great, but not realistically something that can be done at the local level like that.  

Solar streetlights, a local currency, and instant runoff voting might be good ideas, but I don&#039;t have enough knowledge/information to comment on them specifically.  

A few of the rest, however, are very bad.  Banning chain stores is insane.  

Finally, a lot of the others could be good or bad depending on implementation.  When funded by theft, they would be very bad, obviously.</description>

		<description>Of course one of those ideas is easy petition drives for local races and allowing all candidates into debates.</description>
