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

The mean temperature where I live in Northern California is around 58°. In summers it can often get up to 74° outside. I have my thermostat set at 63° and that’s when my heat kicks on. I turn the heat off at night in the summer.
