npub14k23hl0c7a0ecs42wndgxg4l7w9ve03jtdlg48hvj93zdtq2cf9q3ted68 (npub14k2…ed68) I lived there for a year a decade ago and the misters are quite common, particularly at restaurants and bars with outdoor seating. They are quite effective at cooling you down, but also wasteful - literally spraying water into the air that almost immediately evaporates. Pools were essential on the hottest days.
I had several personal reasons for not staying, but on a practical level I also couldn't see the city being sustainable over the long term in the face of water shortages.
