A typical summer in Silicon Valley often means no a.c.

Its ironic but understandable because the whole area of Silicon Valley was until the 1970s farmland and modest homes that were not built for luxury or convienence. Million dollar homes in the area are the norm-they just don't come with air conditioning or particularly thick and sturdy walls....There is nothing quite the same as having spent a super hot CA summer with only a ceiling fan and floor fan to keep you cool:( In short I do not miss the type of super expensive housing that is the norm in Silicon Valley. Anyone going there who thinks they will get even a studio rental for under $1000, prepare to have your heart broken...
