    Steam is still distributed in New York. It’s why the Gotham manhole vented steam aesthetic can still be seen in-person: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_steam_system

    Definitely not the most efficient heating. Just lots of old construction in this city.

      Oh damn, I'm obviously not from NYC lol. Didn't know how extensive the district heating system was there.

      having a hard time contemplating this. imagining a time in the US when something like heating was collectivized instead of being left to the individual to manage. sounds like a pretty big project to design and implement.
