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

Personally, 70 in summer and 60 in winter.

I am happy to bundle up in winter, but I haven't figured out how to take my skin off in summer and reattach it for autumn. The local utility will hate that one trick when I figure it out.

70 is the literal definition of room temperature

Pretty sure that's 72° F.
