I’ve written about how little shelter the new “shelters” in the transit mall provide. They do, however, make a nice flat place for fall leaves to land on and rain to form droplets, making a pretty autumn picture. And then the “shelter” leaks and drops rain on my newspaper while the winds buffet me from every side because THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO TO GET OUT OF THE WIND AND RAIN.
I can see why your leave experience is so different than mine. I wish I could be there to campaign with you for REAL shelters!!!
