comparing “green” space between Madras and SF

One thing about the US is that land conservation and national parks are taken seriously. The amount of green within a city is pretty high. Growing up in Madras, finding an open spot to play is one of the biggest ordeals. I was lucky I grew up in an apartment complex with a ground in the middle of it. But others are not. Check out the two images, screen captured from Google Maps at the same scale. Even though the SF image has a lot of water in it, the “green” in it is substantially higher than in the pic of Madras, where it is non-existent!
