Yeah but the houses were built for that back then. Now they're not built that way so without ac they get super hot.
Black shingles don't make sense, for example. I measured my roof surface at 167F the other day. White adobe makes so much more sense in this heat, but instead people rely on AC to overcome design flaws that trap heat

One season without AC and people will fix that issue in their homes.

It's not a "fix the issue" thing, you have to build an entirely new house and people don't have money for that. It's cheaper to buy electricity and AC than to fix the issues, which is a big part of why they're not fixed in the first place

People survive in far worse everyday. People adapt.
