Editing Topanga (section)

==Travel in Topanga==
The Great Train Route skirts the edge of Topanga at a city called Crestview.  From there local transportation can be used for travel inside Topanga. Animals and Carts can be rented by the day, month, or year.  Several businesses offer custom Topanga-Ready vehicles for sale.  

For local use a tram service runs through the tight twisting area on road barely wide enough for trams to pass each other.  Tiny vehicles similar to golf-carts are used by locals. Animals like horses, dottles, llama, ostriches, and goats are common. Wagons using wheels or levitation plates are hand pulled or animal pulled. Some are are automated.

The region uses transporter technology extensively. Transporters are often point to point devices found at some point in each nestled community. Some, but by no means all, residences have transporter pads. Transfer gates go from Region to region  

The encampment is unusual since besides small theaters and performance venue it is mostly residential areas.  There are many franchise restaurants and business areas nestled into the canyons in '''''Clusters''''' but they blend in well and are hardly noticeable unless you drive through them. Each of the business districts contain a fairly unusual number of small business like gift shops and art galleries. 

Many residents of Alamond call Topanga ''Hippielandia''.  Its a fair jest since many ''Hippie'' communes are sprinkled throughout Topanga's valleys and many commercial ''Clusters'' feature sales of ''hippie'' arts and crafts and include ''Hippie'' performance spaces and restaurants and cafes.
