You don’t live in New Orleans or Houston
I grew up 140 miles due north of New Orleans
It was routinely 95-105 and humidity 75-90
And I did not have AC till 1972 at age 15
I lived in Manhattan in old floor through apartments sans air conditioning
Upper Nyack too
London
Even high up near Rio and higher elevations Jamaica and Colombia too
But to live that way in Jackson Mississippi now
No way
Folks can live without air conditioning in maybe two thirds the country
Yes. I visited Louisiana in March. It was like a steam bath. Had a chance to relocate to Sugarland Houston for business. No way. Everyday would be a bad hair day.
