At first glance[0], the campus is shiny but severely lacking in shade (except the buildings themselves) and especially trees.
I wish them good luck; they're going to need it.

Keep in mind that this is a brand-new development, and they started by razing derelict SFHs to bare earth. You cannot simply plant fully-grown shade trees.
However, this is already an oasis of shade and civilization in a concrete urban jungle. If anyone exits the property to walk to the post office, or to where they parked their car, they'll find a dearth of shade trees. There are a few Palo Verdes, but the most shade can be found next to a traffic signal, really.
I've never understood this. Properly clothed, a cold winter is far more bearable than a hot summer, in my opinion.
Maybe it's just personal preference, but I feel like people have an overreaction/over-aversion to cold, because they associate hot climate with vacation.
