I still contend that a/c or air conditioning has lead to the demise of our neighborhoods in the USA. People are used to 72 degrees and any deviation is a reason to NOT go outside. It’s to hot to go out. To humid, to windy, to cloudy, to cool.....so instead of sitting on the front porch making conversation with neighbors people sit inside and watch TV

That’s not the case in our home as even with a/c we spend all our down time outdoors. But here it is July 1 and we’ve not turned on the central air yet. Why have it? I figure we’re down to 2 months to even have a use for it. but we’re spoiled...and need to have the security of a/c if we want to use it.
