For the most part there really isn't any need for it cause  summer here is very nice.

 That's cool. I've been all over this country, but one area I've never made it to is the Pacific NW. Need to get out there sometime. 
 
When I first moved to Florida it took me a long time to get used to how few houses have basements and second/third floors. Sooo many one floor houses. It's just much more economical to keep cool. I'm a northern boy. All the houses have A/C and heat, and basements too.
