I certainly agree the temps are survivable - but the issues is the entire housing stock/built environment is not set up to deal with it. Europe's having huge energy and price concerns right now. Dropping temps by -20 decrees, woul

Solar power in Germany has a ~1-2% capacity factor. Winter heating demand also means energy demand (and power prices) peak in the winter. So any renewable energy source at 50-100x high cost per kw/h (with nearly a 100% winter capacity

But the challenge is that SF finances are built on the assumption of a lot of office workers and a growing tax base. And if you upend either of these assumptions, then managing the city (with a lot of present challenges) becomes a lot harde
