I assume you’re being sarcastic but I’ll give a datapoint anyways. Small home in Austin, ~1400 square feet, costs a little over $200/month in the summer and I keep it a nice cool 71 degrees 24/7. Low to mid $100s the rest of the year. I don’t have any notable shade coverage, either.

It was tongue in cheek. I lived in Austin for only one hot summer, and my dash board melted. Not a bad place otherwise.
