The disconnect about our climate is something I really can never understand.
Yes we have very very hot summers. Which simply require shade and water to safely navigate. We have mild nice weather for 2/3 arguably 3/4ths of the year.
Our weather is more pleasant for more of the year than almost anywhere in the USA. Every Urban northeastern or Northwestern city where walking is common and standard its not only much less pleasant for most of the year its LITERALLY more dangerous it is far easier to be killed by cold then killed by 105.
Even people that live here point to the handful of days a year over 110 as fi that means urban walking is completely impossible. Its insane.
and I mean insane, its completely divorced from reality.
