There would be places without roads or ownership. Those of us who didn't want to live in towns could build our own homes in the woods, on the prairies, or wherever we chose, and be left to live largely undisturbed. Government would be limited to town councils.

Less realistically, but for it to truly be paradise, people would be better than they are, too: Considerate, reasonable. There would be little or no sickness, and books aplenty. Temperatures would never get above 80 or below 20.

Hm. A sustainable, fully-independent community committed to living synergistically and respectfully off the land,
with rescued animals,
and a husband and children, educated rigorously and independently.

Paradise is to sit in my uncle's backyard with a glas of red wine while listening to the Gypsy Kings and watching the horses run by in the sunset.
