Mesa Temple Aerial Update August 10th, 2019

Here's just an aerial update  the grounds around the exterior that shows rows of new palm tree plantings and some added topographical features - what it doesn't show are updates on the for-profit real estate developments just west of the temple grounds - it's a smaller scale version of the 23-acre City Creek redevelopment in Salt Lake City that will turn part of downtown Mesa into a replica of that redevelopment in Utah.

Many consider global warming beyond 2 degrees Celsius a critical threshold. World leaders who signed the 2015 Paris climate accords used it as a benchmark of success. Scientists warn virtually all the world’s coral reefs will disappear should we cross that point.
But in many places in the United States, average temperatures have already climbed near — or even past — that mark. These places, where average global temperatures are approaching or have even gone beyond 2 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial Revolution levels, count as among the fastest-warming places on Earth, The Post's Steven Mufson, Chris Mooney, Juliet Eilperin and John Muyskens report.
The Post team analyzed more than a century of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration temperature data across the country and found a number of 2C hot spots in the United States.

Why so many suburbs look the same

"Car-friendly" LOL

So many suburbs have similar plans. Why?

In this episode of Vox Almanac, Vox’s Phil Edwards investigates the system behind the shape of the suburbs.
If you’ve visited a suburb, you’ve probably noticed a similar look: same curving streets; same cul de sacs. It’s not an accident. In fact, this appearance of the suburbs is part of the Federal Housing Administration’s plan.
In the 1930s, the Federal Housing Administration, or FHA, was the financial engine behind most home development. To ensure their investments were safe ones, they strongly recommended that builders and developers comply with the ideals they set. Those regulations aligned closely with the values of the time, including segregation and a burgeoning car culture.
These rules encouraged suburbs with winding streets and cul de sacs — aesthetically pleasing designs that led to sprawl and made a car a necessity. Even though the enforcement mechanisms have changed over time, we still live in a culture shaped by the FHA’s ideal suburban design.
If you want to learn more, there are a couple of resources:
Streets and the Shaping of Towns and Cities by Michael Southworth and Eran Ben-Josephhttps://www.amazon.com/Streets-Shapin...
Eran Ben-Joseph spoke to me about his book, which provides a great overview of suburban planning. It also has more crucial detail about street widths, which influenced car culture.
FHA Underwriting Manualhttps://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/...
If you’re curious to wade into some primary documents, this underwriting manual from 1938 is a good place to start.
