Cracks me up also when I see the Northeast "hot" . Buncha whining sissies.
In their defense, a lot of them don't have AC, especially in older homes/buildings. Not necessarily for "environmental" reasons like Paris, but just because it's not needed often.
I dated a girl in college from Northern Indiana and her parents' home didn't have AC....just ceiling fans. She said it was rarely an issue. I visited once during the summer and it was pleasant inside just with the fans going and windows open.
The problem is once a year they do get a legit heat wave, it sucks.
