Grew up in Dallas with window units so I know what its like to have “cool zones” in a house and not-so-cool zones.
But I would not go without central A/C today unless we lived somewhere like Washington State.
Humidity is a big factor too in the summer.
This woman is an idiot!!
I live in WA State, and we have A/C. I just don't do well in heat, and as I've gotten older the definition of "heat" has gotten lower. I simply wilt in hot weather. I love my A/C,
Also, there are two Washingtons with the one state. The Western half of WA State is where Seattle is located, and the Pacific Ocean is on the coast. It has a nice moderate climate most of the time, both summer and winter. However, the Eastern part of the state on the other side of the Cascade Mountains, has a very different type of climate, much warmer in summer and colder in the winter. Now, it is not Minnesota by any means, but it is different from the Western side of the state.
