- thevardanian 9y agoPalo Alto is never hot enough for an AC though. At least in my experience. It does get hot, but not totally unbearable.
- ridgeguy 9y agoToday at lunch with a friend in Palo Alto, we measured 106°F at our table in the shade. We ate outdoors because the cafe had no A/C and was intolerable.
- Stratoscope 9y agoEven on a normal warm day, so many Palo Alto restaurants are uncomfortably hot inside because of no A/C and poor ventilation. Especially the places that face south or west!
- trapperkeeper74 9y agoYup. Many restaurant owners: penny-wise, pound-foolish
- trapperkeeper74 9y agoIt was 106 ℉ today in Palo Alto. Maybe you wait until it's 121?
- nealabq 9y agoWhen I was a kid living in Palo Alto I remember a day when it was 107 degrees. I think it was 1971.
- Zarath 9y agoYou definitely don't need AC in Mountain View. Source: Haven't turned it on.
- trapperkeeper74 9y agoYou're making an invalid, hasty generalization from ancedotal evidence. A ground-floor apartment or shaded house is not the same thing as a flat-roofed, unshaded, uninsulated, top floor apartment.
- revelation 9y agoWell yes, if you build your house to need AC then you will need AC. Probably also lots of heat in the winter. So do the smart thing.
