What is a healthy enviorment

A healthy community/environment is one where people feel free to publicly voice their opinion without judgement. Have an open happy community where you can have an enjoyable social conversation with a random encounter on the street. It is also a place where everyone has equal rights to education, health care, employment and transportation.etc.
