Train racing. No I will not elaborate.

High speed rail running the 'spine' of the americas - people should be able to go from Alaska to the far end of Chille and not need to transfer (although one imagines a number of stops along the way)

Community cafeterias. 1 caf per x (tbd) population.

• informed by national-level dietary guidelines
• very receptive to local neighborhood dietary preferences and encouraged to develop specialties
• worker controlled
• kitchen teams could swap/guest in other neighborhoods to mix things up
• you can go to cafs in other neighborhoods but there would probably be some system to anticipate demand to avoid over/under prepping (like you have a home caf but you can make reservation at another one?)

You can eat there or get take out.

Benefits:

• less food waste
• don't have to waste time shopping, chopping, cooking and cleaning when you don't want to
• will not have insane "chef" centered kitchen cultures, unless everyone working there votes in favour of this for some reason

Create a large network of state and/or cooperatively owned cannabis farms to mass-produce hemp for industrial purposes, and every strain of quality marijuana known to man. You think the weed's too strong these days? That's ok, the state will devote its resources to developing 10% THC strains that taste like a gourmet meal. You want to be sent to the moon? Why yes, there will be 99.9% pure concentrate oils widely available.

Just as the USSR had an alcohol ration, there will be a mids ration available for all. Any unclaimed rations will be distributed to the gulags to forcibly pacify political prisoners. While high and marginally more open-minded, they will be made to play video games where every character is a black lesbian and all the messaging is based on post-colonial theory. Only after their daily shift constructing and tending the farms is finished, of course.

Any questions?

Alantropa? The TNO brains are leaking.

We’re bringing back Roman bath houses and including spots to nap in public there in case you have like an hour and a half gap between things you have to do but it’s too far to go home. Really just more public space investment

A truman show-esque reality TV program, where donald trump is planted as a regional manager of a small chain restaurant and monitored 24/7.

Maglev network featuring a 100 mile long vactrain built into a mountain range that yeets a rocket into space (and eventually a space station that can refuel/launch the vac trains to a lunar station. That is correct, you will be able to take a train from Mumbai to the moon.)

Bike freeways, playgrounds for adults, free/open gyms, and municipal go kart tracks with competitive leagues

Massive radio telescopes built into the far side of the Moon.

Ban lawns. Like, completely. No more lawns. Having one is a punishable offense. I want children to report their parents on this matter. Merciless enforcement. EVERYONE with ground space MUST have a garden.

your proposals are all quite nice but none of them would knowingly ecocide half a continent & cost/generate more power than has ever been used by humanity for the simple goal of refilling the LA River

oh yeah, its NAWAPA TIME

Every multiplayer pvp game will be mandated to have an unskipabble 10 minute gay kiss/sex scene on startup.

The Culture.

Create an artificial language with no exceptions to its rules, then teach it in every school in the world, so that the whole humanity spoke one language.

Also ban smoking

My crank project would be a vast public domain and publicly owned version of the Library of Congress, for literature, movies, shows, games, and pretty much any and all media in danger of being lost to time, copyright bullshit, tax write-off skullduggery, or the like. A big part of that project would be attempts to retrieve and restore media that is already considered lost.
