Solar panels do not solve the problem of parking lots being community dead zones. You can put solar panels on anything - it'd be better if it were housing, a store, a pub, etc. than a parking lot.
- 1970-01-01 8mo agoWalmart allows overnight campers on their lots. Add free power and you get a pop-up community.
- spankalee 8mo agoThere are almost no Walmarts in urban centers.
- 1970-01-01 8mo agoIs that a joke? There's literally thousands of Walmarts in cities. https://mapstack.io/map/VkEPZb/map-of-walmart-supercenter-locations-us https://mapstack.io/map/VkEPZb/map-of-walmart-supercenter-lo... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MY89q9pnrS-rB8t6Df4TuWZhdtRMkdTnYVbjZnDMpjQ/edit#gid=1468117388 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MY89q9pnrS-rB8t6Df4T...
- alamortsubite 8mo agoIf you stretch the definition of a "city" to include its suburbs, sure, but that's outside the context of TFA. There are no Walmarts in Syracuse, for example. There's one nearby, but not in the city. Adding solar to suburban lots is surely a win, but we're talking about urban lots here.
- 1970-01-01 8mo agoHere's the complete list of Census-defined cities in New York that have Walmart locations: Albany Amsterdam Auburn Batavia Canandaigua Corning Cortland Fulton Geneva Glens Falls Gloversville Hornell Hudson Ithaca Kingston Lockport Newburgh Niagara Falls North Tonawanda Norwich Ogdensburg Olean Oneida Oneonta Oswego Plattsburgh Rome Utica Watertown Note: New York is interesting because many populated areas are classified as "towns" or "villages" rather than "cities" by the Census Bureau, so this list excludes those locations. For example, many Long Island and Westchester Walmart locations are in towns or CDPs, not incorporated cities.
- alamortsubite 8mo agoExactly. Albany is the only place on that list approaching the size of Syracuse, and its Walmart is several miles outside of town on the other side of the freeway.
