I used to live in southern California, and LA is just hot. Always has been, always will be. $40,000 per mile to paint roads white is a waste of taxpayer money that could otherwise be used for more fruitful causes and initiatives (food for the poor, infrastructure, healthcare, housing).

How long it has been hot seems irrelevant to the question of "will this make it less hot?". _IF_ this makes it less hot, it still _might_ be a waste of money, but it all depends on how much less hot.
