Low-income neighborhoods in major U.S. cities tend to be hotter than richer areas –– often because they have fewer trees and more concrete. Living day after day in that extra heat isn’t just uncomfortable. It can be deadly.

michaelemasters here is that story I told you about

morgfair Plus add brick buildings which can be like ovens. And if the crime rate is high people will keep their windows locked. Add to that people on low incomes can't always afford an ac or the electric bills that go with it.

As big cities grow, they have more concrete and fewer trees, so they end up being hotter. Yesterday you said they got hotter because of CO2. Which is it?

And in some observed cases (and perhaps many more), power and water infrastructures are obsolete or defective; e.g., overhead power lines on wooden poles while the other areas of town have safe and modern underground conduits.

This is a pathetic attempt by dem propaganda outlets like NPR to link climate change and poverty ...to get votes ...stupid AOC is also working off the same doctrine.. shutdownNPR

Definitely getting rid of illegal immigrant cars and busting up inappropriate parking would help. Trees, grass, legal landscapers, no dog poop on the grass... All these things would help.

This is the dumbest tweet of propaganda from npr that I’ve seen in a long time. Pathetic and corrupt. It only makes me doubt climate change when crap like this is put out. I was in communist Europe and China in the 80’s. They were the mostdisgusting places.

And often the homes don't have proper air conditioning making the houses hot as well. No relief outside or in during summer months and unusually warm spring days.

Perhaps if crime and violence were lower they would appear to be better investments. Pretty sure you'd save more lives writing on the impacts of child abuse and fatherlesness in low econ neighborhoods via reducing violence and crime with good parenting and complete families.

Why is this breaking news?

I'm poor live in the hood and trees are everywhere

Like the United States give a flying f*ck about its poor.

The heat in Phoenix will be almost unbearable for people and animals because their is so much concrete and little if any desert. environmentalawareness

Get a job and move, then.

NPR Choice pageThis is stunning Perhaps instead of charging the person who leased the property and the rent collector, they could have charged the owner of the property who was ultimately responsible. Scapegoating the counter culture folks failed miserably. Tragic that no one held accountable.
