This is a perfect example of wasting resources…

Note:  The reason I bring this up is because I noticed James Gibbs had a similar problem when I discovered his work on the Arch he created for Scotland, I personally think was a waste of resources.  I’m not particularly fond of high rise buildings so we need to think through to the future with some of our construction.  Lots of well built structures aren’t going to provide cooling that will be needed in the future.

…This street and sidewalk have had to employ  two different kinds of lighting, one for the street and one for the sidewalk.  Cars have headlights.  Why do you need to see the street if you are on the sidewalk.  An automobile is more viewable without street lighting than with it.
