By any objective measure, it IS good.

Concrete is not a weather condition.

Concrete is most certainly a weather condition [1]. And better weather doesn't always make for a better environment.

The urban heat island is my single biggest point of displeasure living in NYC–I so love sleeping the windows open and a cool night breeze in the summer, which would be very possible in my quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn if it were to actually cool off at night.

Instead we have hot days followed by slightly less hot nights, and I run the A/C all night lest I get no sleep at all.

Drought is an objective measure. Some of us prefer green grass and trees to arid climates.
