This thread by @leonsimons8 from a year ago today is a fantastic overview of where all the incoming excess heat (13+ Hiroshimas per second) goes ...

In this city of 100,000, one of the most liberal and environmentally conscious anywhere, with an abundance of good weather, sidewalks and bike lanes, I would say there is a robust group of about 20 to 30 of us locals who purposefully walk or bike to do most of our errands.
