@KimLaCapria I grew up in a 4th floor NYC apartment before air conditioning. I used to cry from awful prickly heat on my skin.

@flyaway47@newyorker IME as a Brooklyn resident window AC is useless in those apts. :/ -
Central AC it's not, obviously, but even one window unit in the living room was far, far better than no AC at all!
-
Our apt even had cross-ventilation, but didn't help on sticky, windless, heat-soaked summer nights. Bad memories
