“Five-story buildings with no setbacks create an oppressive canyon effect, blotting out the sun and casting shadows on the street.”
@qagggy.bsky.social Harland Bartholomew I believe
@qagggy.bsky.social the amount of shadowing you get depends on the compass direction the street runs in, the time of day, and whether you’re in summer or winter in higher latitudes. If you’re in northern Europe, the quote is very very likely true. Been there, lived in such a street.
