I live near Sacramento where we have long periods of 100+ degree

believe the city is much hotter simply because of the pavement and the
roofs.
It seems logical.
In New York City, it's always 6-8 degrees warmer at night than the
suburbs, supposedly because of the heat held by the buildings.
Yeah, that almost sounds like a pork barrel project to me. I would think
there was tons of information on that subject already stuffing their file
cabnets.
