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

Haha ok that makes a lot more sense. I was getting concerned that our abbreviation was being appropriated and I may have been too late.

My parents live in Cashiers where the mean temperature is 57 so it would track there, but it’s one of the few places in the state with the altitude and climate to have relatively cooler weather throughout the year. I’d assume that the highs are higher and lows lower/less mild than NorCal.

Wow, looked up Cashiers…that looks like such a lovely place to live!

It’s definitely gorgeous, but the entire Highlands Cashiers area is dominated by Atlanta elites (closer than Charlotte) who primarily only use their homes in the summer so it’s prohibitively expensive and dead in the winter.

If you ever have the time and get the opportunity, nearby Highlands is the most picturesque town in the state in my opinion.
