I haven't been to Hawaii but the PNW to me is a drier heat/climate than is perceived.
This was winter. It wasn't that humid and it did cool down in the 60's at night but that doesn't mean much on the 4th floor.
So said the Native Americans, the early pioneers, those who have seen any town growth, anyone who enjoyed Crystal Pepsi. Change happens…
It also helps that older buildings factored in the local environment, by necessity. It's how you could survive in the south without AC. Buildings in warmer areas would be designed for airflow. Trees would be planted to shade the house over time. In particularly warm areas you might see more below-ground building. Etc. Now with AC we build sealed boxes designed purely with utility/aesthetic considerations and don't really factor it into the design, which makes it a lot worse when the AC/power does go out.
I miss me some crystal pepsi. Dark soda tears my stomach up in my age.
How much is income tax and how much is SE tax?
Do you own the dirt or does a trust?
Property tax,...I understand,....but that offsets gross income.
Do you pre-pay expenses to offset current year net income?
Just curious. B^)
Where I'm at, 60 miles north of Seattle, the summers are dry. The Sound and Pacific are too cold to evaporate and make it humid like the gulf and Atlantic coasts. Our ocean currents are coming down from Alaska so the water is rarely over 60F. People get hypothermia in August if they don't have a wet suit. So even when it's 90F, there's no appreciable humidity and it's comfortable in the shade with a breeze. And we get very little rain in July and August so we don't get that post-storm mugginess either. Overnight it's still dry but it cools down in the 50s. You can keep your house comfortable without AC by managing the windows and shades throughout the day. Something like 40% of homes out here have no AC.
Iowa home prices up 300% since 1984. Still seems like a deal.
Most of the Midwest still seems like a bargain unless it's compared to Louisiana...

Well, read the headline and then the first paragraph. I stopped then because I was already confused and figured the writer wasn’t too bright.
