If your ac goes out, a plywood shack turns into a death trap in summer swelters. Been there, done that. Used to live in a trailer when the AC completely shit the bed and we lived in an oven with no half decent ventilation for a month waiting for HVAC guys to fix it. Southeast BTW, probably less of a problem for Yankees to be fair. There was a heat wave that year and another person next to us had their ac shit the bed too, and they ended up dying.
Colonial style architecture all the way up to 1950s era architecture doesn't even need ac. It's a nice comfort to have, but those houses are ventilated in such a way and that they create natural wind tunnels in the summer, theyre built with thick materials that absorb heat and dont transfer to the house, high ceilings, porches, etc. Plus other passive heat protection aspects like being painted white and shutters instead of blinds. Plus they can have and usually do have AC systems retrofitted.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
