A couple and a real estate agent visit a parking space. In 2050, parking lots are now rented out as apartments, because the temperature is much lower than outside, where it's constantly over 50 degrees. But the man in the couple is thinking of buying for his mother, who is in a nursing home without air conditioning, and the woman is thinking of buying for herself. The real estate agent, on the other hand, is thinking of just one thing: making money.
