People CAN live without AC in warm weather climates. People CAN'T live without heat in colder climates. Look at Antarctica and look at Africa. Which one has more humans?

Living without AC & Heat is possible, I live in both a cold climate and a hot climate and I've done both, its not something I'd recommend but its possible. With that being said I feel having heat is more important although you can live without it.

Also Antarctica vs Africa is like someone saying Death Valley vs International Falls which has more people? Antarctica is uninhabitable lol.

I'm fit so I like to exercise too. Thats why I go to the park and run on the trails, swim laps in the local lap pools, play football basketball soccer tennis etc year round, all outdoors. Something you can't really do up north. Why do you think so many sports teams come to FL for off season training..

My family from NY was down here in FL this past week and they were bummed because the weather wasn't really as warm as they were hoping, they were even complaining about it being too cold during the evenings nights and mornings, but they were still glad to be out of the below freezing weather in NY. They said that during the winter months they never go outside, besides right after it snows for the first time, then it gets old really fast.

That's exactly why I hate snow.

These numbers also surprise me, from the year 2002. Data from the State And Metropolitan Area Databook. I would expect TAMPA to have a slightly higher income/earnings total; considering that it's metropolitan area is slightly larger and that most people have a perception that it is a richer city than PITTSBURGH. However the GOVERNMENT'S statistical DATA proves contrary to that popular misconception.

I'd rather be poor in Tampa than rich in Pittsburgh.
