>Those infrastructure improvements sound great, don't get me wrong, but walking in a snowstorm in windy 10-degree-Fahrenheit weather would still be considered unpleasant by a lot people even with good plowing and lighting. (I personally hike all through winter, but some people just want a comfortable place to walk.) Maybe climate catastrophe will "help" "solve" that issue, but in the meantime I think a lot of folks around here will continue to walk in malls and gyms. The key to this is that there's no 10F snowstorm every day. It's perfectly feasible to optimize for the case where it's a simple and pleasant snowy day. I don't think the climate catastrophe is likely to remedy the problem of unpleasant weather up north, unfortunately. It's liable to just get more extreme.
