    That's such bullshit. You DO need air conditioning. It's part of the basic needs of housing - being able to control the temperature!

    I remember when I moved to LA, I asked my new roommate where the AC control was. He said there wasn't one. Evidently I had the funniest expression on my face, according to my brother.

    They said, Oh, LA doesn't get that hot, you won't need it! Bullshit, it gets hot enough. Just open the windows, they said! I did. Then the noise from the street came in. Then a big truck drove by and stunk up the place with exhaust fumes. Then the wind stopped blowing for a few minutes and I got to sweat.

    I don't care where you are, air conditioning is an absolute necessity.

      That’s such bullshit. You DO need air conditioning. It’s part of the basic needs of housing - being able to control the temperature!

      Imagine building a house, they put in a thermostat, and you go “To control the temperature, right?” and they go “Yeah but you can only make it hotter” Utterly deranged
