% Public Goods % Michael Stone % July 24, 2011 After returning from my [recent travels](../travel_2011/), I've found myself feeling grateful for three public goods: * safe drinking water, * wifi + internet access, and * [accessible public accommodations](http://www.ada.gov) whose value I took for granted before I left and for two goods: * colorful cities with lots of vegetation and * newspapers containing substantive discussion that I miss already after being back for just over a week.
