I hate cities. Never expect to live in one.
We’re in southern Oregon smack dab in the middle of the Rogue valley with our front porch overlooking the Rogue river. With the temps in the high 90’s/100’s during the day, our air comes on at 74. At dusk, a breeze comes up the valley bringing cooler air. So at night, we keep the porch door open with a big fan which keeps our place in the low 60’s.
When I moved to York (PA) 29yrs ago, this area was semi-rural; now the “city-creep” is taking its toll and moving outward in all directions. I hate cities, too.
