Lack of insulation is why all those pipes froze when that cold snap came through Texas in 2020. Lack of flood planning is why Texas's coastal homes flood out every 10-20 years. The lack of statewide rules for home construction just keeps fucking them but they don't know any other way to live.
Building 100's of thousands of residential buildings that cannot even survive a once in 10 year events without massive insurance subsidies and FEMA assistance is peak Texas. Half of of the suburbs in Texas are going to be abandoned by mid century once 110-120 becomes the norm.
I’ve mentioned it before but I used to live in a reservoir they literally built to hold water and they kept building housing in it despite it making the area worse at its job. Even after harvey and some articles about how the building was detrimental to flooding, they’re still throwing up new houses in it rn lol
While I should definitely get on my landlord about the rinkydink unit attached to my building, I've almost never had an AC bill much lower than this living in an upstairs apartment during Texas Summer months
Being asked to conserve energy when my AC already barely keeps my room below 84 degrees while my electric bill is over $300
Jesus Christ comrade, is that per month?
It is during June/July/August, yes
Yeah Texan bills go way up in the summer
Have you check whether the AC needs a refill of refrigerant? One of the key symptoms is the unit running longer and harder for less cooling.
Most homes have shit insulation in Texas.
Some local Texas building codes didn't even require ceiling insulation until the 1990's.
Gotta love that HeMan, rugged Individualism.

If you're in a dry part of Texas, have you thought about getting a swamp cooler? Shit legit makes a massive difference if you blow it directly on you
