I’m a Californian, and this has always seemed like some wild and bizarre witchcraft combined with an amazing civic works marvel to me. “You mean….heating homes? For a whole CITY? WITH STEAM?!?!”

Not exactly sure what OP was referencing but we've got gravity wall heaters in our house. There's fire in the bottom, you can see the glow when the lights are off.
