The problem is, have you ever noticed how much hotter you are in a parking lot on a warm day than when you are in a park? Well, now those events are happening on a parking lot and not a park. Furniture can be designed to work on turf, or temporary fixtures could be put in place to mitigate the drawbacks of furniture on lawns, but the absorbed and reflected heat will be hard to get rid of. Hopefully this area is small enough to not have a big impact on the temperature there.
I honestly don’t think it looks bad, but I suspect it’s more for Trump to put his stamp on it than anything else, and to erase the efforts of others before him. And I suspect it will be more uncomfortable than it was before.
I agree. I hate Trump as much as anyone else, but if a President I liked did this, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
In principle, I don’t mind if a space mainly used for events, with chairs placed there often, should be hardscape. It’s not as if lawn can’t be put back there in the future. Lawn isn’t a heritage tree or rose shrub.
To be fair though, the photo makes it look pretty huge as an expanse of paved area.
Yeah, it’s not that he did it per se, it’s the idea that he probably did it because he’s a classless fat troll.
Same with some of his policies; grand scheme of things if they were presented by most other people I’d have little objection, but because they’re motivated by greed, hate or narcissism I don’t want to give the twat an inch.
Yeah, for this space that is frequently used to host people or filled with chairs for a press conference, it is better and makes more sense.
Ugly and only heat, i do not see the better for this nonsense
