Here's your chance not just to be the mayor, but the original city planner as well! Imagine a medium sized city that would be developed with modern, low carbon transportation in mind, and other strategies to reduce the average citizens' carbon footprints.
What would that city look like? Would that make you more likely to want to live there?

Sustainable City
To make my city as sustainable as possible, I would want to promote good choices by creating good laws, but also make these laws maintainable so that people actually follow them. To start off, I would want to ban non-electric cars. This would immediately help lower our carbon footprint. In addition, I would offer low-priced public transit to promote the use of it. I would also offer free supplies for composting and “reward” people who compost to as an incentive for helping reduce our cities carbon footprint. For sourcing our groceries and essentials, I would find an ethical, low impact way to bring them to our city. I would be sure to appoint a leader in our city to ensure that we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint. Cities like these will ensure our future, which I think is enough reason to want to live in a sustainable city like the one in my head.
