You know what else sucks? Not just that sea of cars ruining your view, but all that extra pavement causing everything to get hotter than normal (or see pic below)

I have cafes near me that all have outdoor seating right next to the parking lot too, but it's always empty because it's too damn hot because of the parking lot and noise. Not to mention nobody wants to deal with smelling exhaust fumes while they are eating...

The US is so fucking shit wtf

For a moment I thought this is in my neighbourhood. These plazas are all the same throughout North America.

It’s a little sad. Feels like a coffee jail.

I feel this. I mean, where are you supposed to sit and enjoy a cuppa without some arsehole driving by blaring shitty music or hearing mums scream at their kids? If it's a nice day, it wouldn't be so bad, but I feel like we should have more areas like parks where cars can't go. Like something like Central Park in NYC (maybe not the best example because it's in the middle of fucking Manhattan) where you have all this stuff with walking paths and vendors and such.

Replacing that parking space with trees and it would the perfect outdoor cafe.

They could at least put up some umbrellas, I'd be oven baked so fast. And who doesn't love exhaust fumes while you're eating?

Look at all that wasted space, it could well be at least 3-4 more parking spots! /jk

So romantic.

typical suburban garbage. so much effort spent making things no one wants.

It has a nice view of a suburban strip mall and a parking lot. Who doesn't love NOx in the air
