A 150m walk on a bald Texas street does indeed sound miserable. A tree-lined one, though, can be quite nice: https://twitter.com/brent_bellamy/status/141113344

- jjoonathan 5y agoYes, it's definitely better, but like all of these zero-energy "alternatives" to air conditioning, it feels like a 20% substitute being sold as an 80% substitute.

- coryrc 5y agoI'm more comfortable walking through Marrakech's old town at 35°C than the sidewalk next to an asphalt road in Seattle at 25°C.
- tomjakubowski 5y agoHow is this an alternative to air conditioning? It's an idea to make being outside in the heat mor bearable, not inside. Good shade provides more like an alternative to depending on a car to get around on hot days.
- jjoonathan 5y agoIt's not an alternative, and that's my point.
- crooked-v 5y agoProperly livable landscaping isn't being sold as an alternative for air conditioning in the first place, which makes your comment seem like a complete non sequitur.
- jjoonathan 5y ago> isn't being sold as an alternative for air conditioning That's where we disagree.
