Are houses with no air conditioning that bad?

I’m looking to move to South California pretty soon, and while looking for a place to live I have noticed a lot of homes that have no air conditioning and no window units.

Imagine living in a house or condo with no AC would be literal torture, so the prospect of no AC surprises me and I don't know what to expect. I’m usually most comfortable keeping my place between 70-72.

What might a house with no air conditioning be like down there if it were to be 85-95 outside? To me it seems like fans only help so much, and people who live in houses with no AC must be comfortable with an ambient 78-80 degrees in their home.

... Read moreLiving without air conditioning in Southern California can seem daunting, especially during peak summer temperatures. Many residents rely on natural ventilation by opening windows at night to let cooler air in, but this might not suffice during heat waves. For those who live in areas with high humidity, maintaining air quality can be a concern, as poor ventilation can lead to discomfort and increased humidity levels indoors. Fans can help circulate air, yet they may not effectively lower temperatures as AC does. Individuals may need to adjust their living habits by engaging in outdoor activities during cooler hours or using shades and reflective materials on windows to block sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. Natural cooling techniques, like utilizing the basement or lower levels of a home, can also offer reprieve from the heat. Understanding local climate patterns can further inform your choice of home features if opting for a property without air conditioning. It’s essential to consider these factors to ensure comfort in such living conditions.

I would invest in a windows unit. I know here in NC you can get them for about $150 through Walmart. Those temps sound like my summers and I can't sleep if I'm hot

it really just depends because a lack of a/c can cause other issues like mold. i don't remember what the whether is like in south california, but i know a lot of floridians have mold issues because they don't want to run up their electric bill with a/c so they keep it off, but floridas also super humid

Deep conditioning low porosity hair?
If deep conditioning never works on your low porosity hair, it’s not because your hair “doesn’t like moisture.” It’s usually because moisture can’t get past buildup. Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles. When oils, butters, and products build up on the hair, deep conditioners sit on top
