WHen I lived near the coast in California, some of my places didn't have an a/c. With all the windows and breeze off the beach, you never needed one. Even in the summer, when you first wake up in the morning, unless there's a hot streak, it can be a bit chilly in the morn. F'n great weather. And if there was a hot spell, shit, we'd just go movie hopping all day or goto the beach or something. Endless shit to do.
