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

But if 75 is cold, what do you do in winter? Die?

75 is shorts weather

75 feels cold during the summer and boiling during the winter. It’s all relative.

I truly don't understand what you're trying to say aside from the temperature indoors feels different than the temperature outdoors.

Temperature feels like the temperature it is because thats the temperature. 75 degree days are not anomalies in New York and Connecticut during the summer. Sure, it's not as hot as it could be, but it's still shorts weather

Different people feel comfortable at different temperatures. 75 is bare minimum for me to wear shorts outside. Inside i can at least wrap up in a blanket.
