#HarryB Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Presidente Moy 25 de mayo, 2020 El sol se calienta y daña cada día más. ¿Hay alguna forma de obligar a Walmart y Sorianas a plantar árboles de sombra en sus estacionamientos? Los automóviles estacionados son comidos por el sol y el calor extremo no es bueno para jóvenes o viejos. Perdón por esta súplica entre todas las demás emergencias que está manejando. ¡Sepa que la comunidad de expatriados está muy orgullosa de usted y agradecida por los pasos que da para proteger a toda la comunidad de Chapala! The sun is getting hotter and more damaging every day. Is there any way you can force Walmart and Sorianas to plant shade trees in their parking lots? Parked cars are being eaten by the sun and the extreme heat is not good for young or old. Sorry for this plea among all the other emergencies you are handling. Please know the expat community is so proud of you and thankful for the steps you take to protect all the Chapala community! Gracias Harry Bublin 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRPJR Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 And perhaps, like the the trees along the bike path, they will provide some shade in about 30 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think that those trees will be here in 30 years? 30 days would be more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsktsktsk Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Novel approach though. Walmart's deal was originally to plant all kinds of trees. Long gone by the wayside. This muni work on this proposal? Think not. Interesting thought though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 This guy must be really bored if all he can think of to do is ask Walmart to plant trees..so the birds have somewhere to sit when they crap all over the cars... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I usually go early in the morning and I have a parking place that is almost reserved-it has shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I don't have a dog in this hunt but I think that if I only had a few 'chits' I could use to promote the common good, I would not use one of them asking someone to ask Walmart to plant trees for shade in the parking lot. At best that's a 15-year payback period much less understanding just how that might look/work in the interim. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Maybe also include The Casino Mall and any place we park and shop..But please do not kill the messenger just the people who come up with these ideas after the fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Seriously?? With everything else going on in the area at the moment such as unemployment, hunger, etc. you want the government to force businesses to plant trees? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Maybe solar panels used for cover structure. That would cover their electric bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Funny, auto and bicycle sales are booming in some places NOB because people don't want to risk using public transit. Even stranger, RV sales are booming too. https://www.bloombergquint.com/pursuits/-covid-campers-rv-motor-home-and-travel-trailer-sales-shoot-up I see two trends that are probably going to accelerate because of this: Working at home and the exodus from big cities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
