If you actually read & understand what I said, you'd see we really aren't in disagreement.

Now for everyone else, if you're moving from the midwest or the east, Sacramento & it's suburbs will be like a walk paradise.

For those moving from the CSJV, it is cooler in the central city. However, the daytime summertime temps are going to feel vaguely familiar in the outlying suburbs. The saving grace is the significant decrease in the nightly temps. It still can be warm occasionally, like around 8-9pm, but it's nothing like the CSJV when the only relief was the early hours in the middle of the night.

The other good thing, CSJV transplants won't have to deal with the temp extremes in most seasons. I quickly discarded my daily living cold weather clothing, it's just not needed here.

Agreed, those are better descriptions, good job Citigirlz, see the hired help if trained properly can and will learn, lol

I can't stand the Phoenix summers; being cooped up for 4-5 months. If I were single, it wouldn't bother me as much, but I have little ones. I love getting out the house with them every chance I get, which is tough out here in the summer; just getting them into the car is a big deal.

A lot of transplants, usually from the northern states, see summer here as a net positive coming from places where they dealt with bitter cold and snow for 5-6 months.

Most of the complaints will come from coastal Californians. In SF, they don't need a/c in the summer, and barely need heaters in winter. LA is very comfortable most of the time in summer, a/c barely needed, heaters rarely used in the winter. I NEVER, not once, used a heater or a/c while living in LA, and I barely used my heater in SF, I did not have an a/c in SF and never needed one. So coastal Californians are too sensitive and intolerant of anywhere that doesn't have "very mild" weather.

In Sacramnto you actually need a heater in the winter, and a/c in the summer like most other cities across America. But, the amount of hours needed to run either the heat or a/c is a lot LESS than most of America.

Lol, no hired help here.
