I moved here in '93. I'm not a native, but I don't think I can be considered transient.
I got an AC unit for the first time two years ago. Following tradition, it didn't arrive until I didn't need it, but I ran it last year, and then a lot this year.
I live in SOMA, it is usually a couple degrees warmer here than the city average. But that doesn't account for the 99F reading on my outside thermometer last week.
Redwood City here, just bought my first (window) A/C for my house this summer. It went from "if I'm going to buy one, I should do it now before it gets really hot" to "I'm buying one today". So thankfully I had it for all of the hot days this year, including the record high 107 last week.
I’m not talking about you because you’ve been there for years now.
I meant that most people move to SF for a couple years and then move out due to costs or whatever reason. I read somewhere that 80% or so of SF is this way. Students, job hoppers, workers, etc.
