That vegetation is pretty green and not primed for a fire.

Plus we already have cars with tanks full of gasoline driving near green areas in cities.

Near but not over and that picture is of an ideal scenario, not a realistic one even if we ignore climate change.

Well if this helps instead, people park on their yards every day with hot exhausts and catalytic converters. And some of us with old gravel driveways have a little grass right where we’re actually supposed to park, lol.

But yeah you’re right that when they decided to make that route so nice and green, they signed up for regular maintenance!

My driveway is asphalt and it still has a little bit of grass in the area you're supposed to park.
