    It would be nice to have environmentally friendly architecture become more common. With houses designed to take advantage of natural cooling features of their local environment. Breezeways etc.

    I suspect most dwellings built today are designed for air conditioning, so they’re just an insulated box, even if the resident wanted to take advantage of the local environment they couldn’t

      In Texas the boxes aren’t even well insulated, just slap an ac on there and have it run all the time!
