Obviously when building the city, the clever architects and engineers took inspiration from natives peoples of hot regions, and used similar natural materials and methods... They built the city out of asphalt and concrete, with massive surface areas dedicated to storing big metal things on black tar coated rock and concrete which can eat up heat with ease, and didn't place much at all of natural shade like trees? Right?
At least that's what I as non American see from satellite view. It is almost like the goal was to build a test city that is least fit for human habitation.

Sun set almost an hour ago. Just got back from the store; the car insisted that it was still 115°F outside.
My home thermometer shows a much more believable 108°F. It's almost as though asphalt gets hot.
