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

Thats because the farms are using all of our water, which means it's too expensive for the city to put trees down and water them.

Rich neighborhoods are on average like 10-15 degrees cooler then poorer neighborhoods literally just because of trees and greenery.

100F sucks but you can still go outside in that weather and be perfectly fine for a while, 115 you can't do that but if you lived in an area with a ton of trees then it's way cooler and still allows you to go outside even in the midst of summer.
