 This was based on 76 votes on the poll. I think the list and ranking is pretty interesting, and be sure to check our comments section on our first post asking for 3 top things.

I would agree that having a K-12 school in your local town is one of the MOST important things a town can have because it serves as a glue that keeps the community together, regardless of your age. Naturally, I am not surprised that having 100% accessible prison isn’t quite a priority for everyone. *grin*

Please do keep coming back because we will have more stuff for you on this blog.
