This is such a foreign concept for me in Murica. But I read a lot of alternative energy articles talking about stuff like heating sand and bricks and stuff that can then be used to heat local communities. Is this a common thing? Do they charge for it? Details, please.

They aren't really used for residential heating to my knowledge, with the exception of some larger apartment buildings.

But surely you have seen something like this (flickr.com) in the winter?

Mainly downtown or the burrows of NY, but yeah I have. LA, Portland, and Seattle do not have stuff like that (that I've seen)
