Ewww, SF's Chinatown, there is that one day of the year when its 90F, off shore conditions, bone dry, no A/C, dirty smelly streets, lol, oh the stench, Pigeon poop boils on the sidewalks, the alcohol stench from the hundreds of bars can give you a contact high, the sirens from the SF Fire Dept never stop, Sushi spoils. Its then you realize its 90 in October and its freaking-hella Earthquake weather! and you must get out of town. But you realize the last time you left your 5 block world was when you went to SFO 2 years ago. You don't have a car, and BART has shut down because of a power outage. The Hyde Street Cable Car derails and kills 2 tourists, muni bus drivers skip bus stops (oh but they do that anyways).
Oh god, you're reminding me of last September! So ungodly hot that labor day weekend. Lucky for me I actually live in a completely renovated place with you guessed it - AC. I can only imagine the poor souls who didn't have it. Due to global warming and conservatives raping and pillaging our planet, these days are getting more common in San Francisco. Our beautiful foggy days are becoming fewer and fewer.
But I can only shudder to think what Sacramento was experiencing those same few days
Yeah, ok let's take your example. I'm awake from 6am to midnight. According to the chart it climbs to 50 degrees around 10:30am and falls below it around 5pm. So that's 4 hours and a half in the morning where it's in the 40s (and even 30s) and another 7 hours in the evening. So in my total 18 hour day, it's in the 40s or colder 11.5 hours of it.
And I'm not even factoring the fact that most people are stuck in some office from roughly 8am-6pm M-F. That would be just unfair.
Well you seem to require less sleep than the average person so... Anyways it's not about being just awake but the times people are likely outside which isn't not at 10pm or later. People leave their offices during the day to get lunch and then do stuff after work too. There is a reason why people generally dress more for the high temp of the day, not the low.

Well, it's the culture of the Bay. We're constantly changing the world whether it's through technology or social progress. We cannot miss out on any time being alive and awake and productive. Our weather is rejuvenating instead of depressing or stifling. The sun rises here around 6am and I want to be wide awake to enjoy the day. But if I woke up to darkness and teens - I'd probably never want to get out of bed either

Sf's summer weather is definitely depressing.... Feel sorry for kids the grew up there not knowing what summer is all about.

Well feel sorry for me I guess. But we knew what real summer was as we traveled outside San Francisco from time to time to hot places like the South Bay, scorching places like LA and Sacramento and steamy places like Hawaii. No thank you, it's fun for about a week if the hotel has AC, but then give me back my cool breeze and abundant sunshine. San Francisco, the city of eternal spring

I do, your perspective is sadly warped by SF's abnormally cold summers. Poor kids not knowing the fun of summer pool parties, water parks, and warm summer nights.
Albuquerque and Denver do have a relationship, but one that I think would be mainly appreciable to people from New Mexico or Colorado.
I feel like someone from outside would see the differences, which are significant, before the similarities.
Especially the glaring fact that Denver is in many ways "All-American", while Albuquerque has a palpably different cultural origin.
You're right. I think both share geographic attributes but Albuquerque certainly has milder and sunnier winters and is more desert than plains. The two cities are unique in ways that make them more different than alike. History and culture would be quite different. One probably wouldn't be confused if they awoke from a coma in Denver and think they were in Albuquerque...they would immediately know something is missing.
