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.

*'''Walkafalldowns''': This is not a formal group or fedstival but more like a recognized phenomenon. Someone declares a '''''Walkafalldown''''' and whoever shows up shows up.  In a region reasonably obsessed with fitness the pubcrawl '''''Walkafalldown''''' is a community bounding event.  Most people who declare one create some token that then becomes part of regional lore.  Many "Falldowners" have personalized mugs or tankards that have tokens attached to them.  Many restaurants or bars sponsor them.  It is common for resteraunts and bars that learn they are in the path of a ''Walkafalldown'' create special tasting menus and small drink samplers since filling up in any one place defeats the p[urpose of the event.
