I have long been suggesting that one of the smallest changes to improve the mess would be to completely outlaw air conditioning in any structure within the DC beltway. No grandfather loophole.

Another tool is to remove phone service from government buildings. We already have tools to shut off cell service in an area, and wire service has always been easy to interrupt. This one just improves government efficiency disruptively.
I have lived in NYC in July (in my youth and teens) without air-conditioning and it was unpleasant but doable.
I have spent time in Greece in the summer without air-conditioning,..due to its dryness, the 90+ heat was doable and tolerable.
I live in South Florida now, and the heat and humidity factor is undoable without air conditioning. Not to mention how historically, and scientifically, working in heat makes workers unproductive as heck.
It just is not doable or tolerable in the south of the state.
It certainly IS doable to live in the south without air conditioning as I can personally attest to. I grew up on the coast of Florida and we didn't have air conditioning until I was a teenager. It was helpful to have an attic fan which pulled air through open windows. I do remember in school my clothing sticking to the varnish on the desk seat when I would go to stand up due to the heat melting the varnish. Doable, but certainly not ideal!!

I’ve thought we should do that in Florida. There will be fewer, but better, Floridians.
Sorry, that is absolutely insane!

Not doable in the
Panhandle either.
once I interviewed for a job in Pensacola and would agree.
