Here in the Pacific NW, it's 103F yesterday and 105F today, through Thursday..then a "cool down" to the mid 90's F. An "Heat Advisory" has been issued for the poor, elderly, and most normal folks with out AC to go to a cooling center! Last night at 10:00 PM, it was still 90F. It hasn't rained for over a month.
PDX (Portland) is famous for providing low cost housing. One of the items they left out was AC. Sundays newspaper ad had several (Chinese made) window room Air Conditioners...studio apartments are less than 300 square feet...on sale for $100. In my building which cost multiple millions to build 15 years ago, that would cost $12,000 or less in bulk today. Residents pay their own electric, so original installation would be minimal. AC would be a better investment than a fancy patio, or a gas fireplace in the sitting room.
Who is in charge to make these decisions, ones that require little but common sense?
When it's hotter than hell, AC is not a luxury, but rather a necessity!
