Actually many places in the US have trees. It depends on where you are as it is a big country with 50 states
Tell me you've never been to the US, or never been outside the US, without telling me you've never been to the US or never been outside the US.
It depends on where you are
At the local park, they place benches such that they are far away from the shade of trees. "It's Washington the ever Green State, just not here buddy!"
At Disneyland and many other parks the benches are placed in blazing sun blasted areas. All rides are standing room sun blasted areas only with sprinklers at the end so you don't die before the ride where you'll be dealing with heat stroke. At the world infamous SeaWorld, the stands are under the blazing sun.
It's all asshole designed to me.
Yeah, theme parks tend to be asshole designed to keep you circulating through the park, and spending money. Normal city parks in most places do the asshole design as much. We still have a large amount of trees in our cities compared to Europe according to all the tourists.
Just make sure they arent the weepy type trees that sap up the sidewalk
If you don't damage them it isn't a problem. They produce sap as a defense mechanism
Ive had two lipo cells for my drone that were barely used and never damaged yet swelled up like spoiled child anyway.
Take Care of those asap. They can turn into high temp bombs
Already trashed em
That is very bad it is the trash companies problem now (they explode if punctured)
I was in Barcelona last week. This was basically everywhere.
In Poland they cut good old trees and plant small ones that give no shade.
I don't understand why they would plant bushes instead of trees. They could of had a nice shady road but instead they have ugly bushes
Same here.
My in-laws are bitching about the heat and how it's driving their electric bill up to keep their massive extremely-windowed house cool.
My in-laws also refuse to plant trees in their massive, empty, flat, baby-shit-green lawn because it "ruins the view".... Of the road. And their neighbors house. And the tips of the trees behind the neighbors house.
They also refuse to get new windows, because their 30 year old windows aren't broken. they don't need curtains because they got tired of changing them every season and holiday with themed festive or otherwise-coordinated-with-mood colors... And of course awnings would just make the whole house look ugly, because a large beige rectangle would just look so much worse with awnings...
I get not wanting to spend thousands on new installations, up-front costs are a bitch.
But planting trees is so cheap...
Do them a favor and get some polarized window film and imstall it for them
Trees need plenty of soil and surface area for that soil, which city landscapers rarely provide properly.
Can we get the metric version pls

Bad bot.
bollocks
Works better in dry environments. Went to California for the first time and finally understood the wonder of shade in a ‘dry heat’. In the mid-Atlantic where I live it just always feels like a hot wet blanket, shade or no shade.
Trees are amazing
California or Canada?
Good point, California. I’ll update my comment to clarify.
There's always been a rule of thumb in my circles that the more greenery you see in a neighborhood, the more affluent it is. Interesting enough, you can also link heat to violent crime even when controlling for socioeconomic status.
In other words, a lack of trees exacerbates an already high crime rate in low income areas. But good luck convincing people to pay for green when you've got dozens of other problems.
I think even without the heat, just seeing greenery is supposed to be calming and good for your mental health.
Cities that don't prioritize this look so bleak and depressing to me. The same goes for a lot of newly built cookie-cutter suburbs where they place the houses so close together than there's not enough room for any nature.
Appearances do matter, yeah. Actually, there is a study out there that showed a reduction in subway crime when graffiti is cleaned up vs when it's left on the trains. Unfortunately it's been like 15 years so I forget the source, though. I imagine there's been follow ups too, if any lemmings want a random homework assignment lol

This is the broken windows theory.
Thaaank you. It's been ages since undergrad.
