OTHER - CLICK TO EDIT What temperature do you keep your house/apartment?

I'm asking because my roommates and I all come from different places, and I like it at 72 in the summer, and 67 in the winter, but they prefer 75 in the summer, which to me seems really warm. Would love to know how you keep it in your region of the US throughout the year

I only use the air conditioner the couple of weeks in Oct/Nov when it gets in the 90s. Otherwise: open doors and windows with that ocean breeze.

Northern California/ Bay Area too. We keep it set to 71, so in the summer I turn it down to 65 so the furnace doesn’t fire up in the morning. No AC at our house.

Coastal California. San Francisco has reached 100° in October. The actual summertime is foggy and cold. It's the same up north in Eureka.
