The rationale being that we would have more trees if we didn't have so many roads?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Not even roads, parking lots man, tons and tons of empty unused space

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Not fewer roads (It's still important to have good street grid connectivity and small block sizes), but narrower roads and smaller parking lots.

I have a Honda civic, which was sold to me with defective air conditioning, which was never covered by the warranty because fuck Honda. My phone literally overheats and stops working. I’ve almost had heat stroke multiple times just trying to get to fucking work.

Get a 12v car fan. It will help at least when stuck in traffic?

What happens when you drive with all windows down?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It gets to be 98 degrees instead of 101 degrees.

It's kind of hilarious how awful your life is; thanks for sharing, offer of hugs.
