- xnx 1y ago100 yards isn't a walkable distance in Phoenix in the summer.
- Zambyte 1y agoYes it is.
- xnx 1y agoI wouldn't want any elderly person I knew walking that distance in any of the 3 weeks Phoenix typically spends over 100 degrees (even hotter over pavement).
- Zambyte 1y ago100 yards is less than a block. Did you mean to say a longer distance? And yeah, walkable cities includes infrastructure that does not magnify the sun at pedestrians (see: shade, plants)
- asdff 1y agoYou know what desert cultures around the world do to avoid this phenomenon? They just go outside in the mornings and evenings.
