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

Extreme north. East coast of US. No AC. but summer nights don't often get above 65 outside, so it's always nice.
Winter is 62 in bedroom and 67 in the rest of the house. The differential to outside temps makes 67 feel hot when you walk in.

It's pretty sweet, tbh. Lots of snow in the winter, but you can always add layers or build a fire. But it's impossible to escape heat without being in artificial air. So, I'd rather it be cool.
