Mission viejo is from the San diego branch, you aren't fooling anybody, most certainly not me. That forecast isn't anywhere in LA Area, that is more like Palmdale in the upper desert or a desert city.

It's Woodland Hills, the location that sees the hottest summer temperatures that you love so much. It's in L.A. proper. Look it up.
I lived in L.A. for nine years without central heating. On chilly nights we just turned the fireplace on and added an extra blanket. I'd always rather sleep cool than sleep hot, so it was not a problem. We were on the west side, about 5 miles from the beach, so it was not by any means the warmest part of L.A., but I enjoyed having a variation in temperature--it was an excuse to turn on the fire and wear "winter" clothes .
Actually, the coast is arguably as warm as or warmer than inland LA if you factor in the nighttime lows, which are far cooler inland than they are near the beaches.

Only at night though. During the day, if it's sunny, the inland communities warm up more quickly than the coast because of the seabreeze effect.
Actually the coastal and basin cities warm quicker because on sunny days in winter no seabreeze is present in the morning.
LAX and the coastal locations have lower average highs in winter (mid 60s) than some of the inland locations (upper 60s to very low 70s). Anaheim is the warmest winter microclimate so let me post a link to their forecast for them for the next few days just to be fair. It looks like they may stay above 40 during this coming week but barely. Low of 40 F AND a slight chance of showers on New Year's Eve! Looks like snow down to 2,000 feet or even lower is a real possibility if those showers do come.
L.A. without central heating for me - without A/C in Miami I would get uncomfortably hot most days of the winter and the air coming through my window while sleeping would be uncomfortably warm and humid. In L.A. I would get a much better night's sleep while not requiring air conditioning, which I think is worth having to layer up a bit inside much of the time. Honestly, even on the rare occasions when I need a coat inside I don't really notice it anymore after a few hours of wearing it.
As an aside, all this consternation and equivocation over a few degrees is one reason central heat and air conditioning was so popular in the first place - next to what we're discussing here "set it and forget it" holds great appeal.

In a large portion of "the North" (what I'd call the "Far North") 58/38F would be a fairly typical day in summer.

Even Fairbanks and Yellowknife have average highs over 70 F in July (which is something that San Francisco fails to master this basic summer task despite it being frostproof in winter).

Sorry If I confused you. For us here in florida the "north" is washington DC northwards. Were you talking about northern alaska (barrow) north as "north"
