Zero parking is good. A tiny narrow road is good. And greenery while nice isn't important.

- nottorp 3y agoSome shade when it's 35-40 C outside doesn't help at all indeed...
- panick21_ 3y agoYou know what also creates shade. Let me give you a hint. It starts with "b" and ends with "uilding". Think about it.

- panick21_ 3y agoIf your society is to incompetent to do what people 2000 years ago were totally capable of doing then that's your own problem.
- nottorp 3y agoI live in an apartment building. It creates shade only on the side opposite to where the sun is. On one side there's a small park with trees that has shade all day. On the other side there are no trees so it's only shaded late afternoon.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI’m currently vacationing in super hot Tokyo, and yes, those buildings do create shade when packed around narrow roads. I get that in the USA where buildings are spaced so far apart from each other that this wouldn’t be very effective.
- naggreg 3y agoYou know what stays hot even after sunset, potentially for the whole night? Starts with b and ends with “uilding”
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoConcrete buildings you mean, and even then, new ones are insulated well enough to not trap heat like pavement does (otherwise they couldn’t be cooled on the inside very effectively).
