I visited Paris this summer and was amazed by the nice walking areas and parks surrounding the Seine river. They even put up showers and mist curtains to help tourists and sportives deal with the heat.
Even here in Oklahoma City, in the middle of the reddest state in the US, we’ve added a massive walkable park in the middle of the city with heat relief misting stations, water parks, we’re in the middle of converting several roads and blocks into walkable neighborhoods, we’re adding greenbelts to the city in various spots to connect walkable areas and parks. Just last month our modern trolly system went from a small but annoying fare to permanently completely free for any rider. If we can do it, everyone can
That's amazing, gives me hope for red states
It just goes show you that conservatives outside red red areas want to take away from the others even if it is against their interests. Red red areas have these things because there’s no bogeyman to blame for why public works are impossible.
