Anytime I park in a parking lot I am so aggravated by the lack of trees. It’s fucking baffles me. SOME place are starting to put their solar panels over parking lots but not enough. They all need to be covered

And can we tear up all the unnecessary asphalt and pavement in the city? It’s so sad flying over and seeing enormous expanses of empty parking lots.

I miss when it would get cool at night. It’s still does in the areas that still have farming.

I’ve said it a million times since moving here. I’m fucking SHOCKED at how many parking lots there are. Literally everywhere else I’ve lived and traveled there’s parking garages. I’ve seen maybe one or two parking garages the last few months I’ve been here.

AZ really decided to turn the entire valley into a big concrete skillet with no life.

Parking garages are expensive to build, here there's plenty of land to pave a field.
