Thanks to those that provided a legitimate response to my post.

For those of you that think people can live without A/C in extremely
hot areas, what do you think about living in a house in the coldest
climates with no heat?

And sorry, but people did not live in the area where the house is 50
years ago in homes with no cooling. No A/C, certainly, but they had
evap cooling at the very least.

This brings up a different discussion altogether, but there can be no
doubt that development in certain areas is possible and only happens as
a result of modern technology. People in those areas then depend on
that technology to survive; e.g. heating or cooling of buildings and
homes.

As far as kinds of house and extent of building, you're right. Are you on the
top floor or something of a multistory ? (now we see you're the tenant...).

But, having grown up in Texas in the '50s and '60s, I can attest that many, many
people have lived without air conditioning OR evaporative cooling in the recent
past. It's all about expectations. Open your windows, get a fan, sit outside
in the shade, go see afternoon movies if you have to.

Cheers,
