Things like trees and grass are treated like troublesome elements that interrupt their glorious array of gratuitous concrete. Instead of being a respite from the sidewalks, many parks are actually worse, and when the midday sun hammers down, they are consciously avoided.
Concrete pavement and hot summer days are a bad combo.

I'm fortunate that I live about a 10 minute walk from some really nice, big parks and lakes, even though I live in the 4th largest city in my country.

The view from my apartment is even of a mix of house rooftops and foliage.

Can't complain.

Would just like to point out that the idea of having palm trees (like in your pic) anywhere near where I live seems really exotic to me.

Mine? 90's Tori Amos for the win. I'm not going to badger anyone to listen to her music, but it's a big part of my life.

I need to listen to more of her. I keep liking the few songs I listen to here and there but being too lazy to follow up.

Tori Amos is okay. Hey, she's from nearby DC so I guess I can't hate her

Several of her albums re 70+ minutes long and they take a while to grow on you, so it's no exactly an easy recommendation. I really love her music, but I usually have to listen to every new album a number of times before I start getting into it. I could make a playlist of tracks from across her career, that I think make a good argument for getting more in depth with her material. But I'm also aware that it's not the most immediately persuasive artist discography of all time.

Tori Amos is the bomb. Her and Kate Bush. They also created a lot of the mold that resulted in the 90s explosion of female singer songwriters with an edge.
