I've managed to have restful sleep at 78 with two fans blasting me, plus a window open to let in the relatively cooler night air. It's doable, but the body takes time to adjust. Humidity can be a big factor.
65 in winter is kind of understandable, since you could layer up or heat a selected space or yourself easier.
My usual comfy indoor ranges would be 70 daytime, 68 night for winter, then 75 throughout in the summer.
Maybe there's a place for this with air ambulances or something, but in a crowded city I only see this integrating into buildings or the people below.
It might be easier near the coast, but opening up windows during times of day where you can catch a breeze might help with the heat the house soaks up. Insect netting on windows may make this a more tolerable option.
Beyond this, the high ceilings in older style homes seemed to make things feel cooler, but I can't really confirm that. A lot of design aspects of older homes were meant to deal with heat, so it might not be trendy but works. I've seen one place with a sizeable indoor pond/pool in the middle of the ground floor, supposedly inspired by courtyard transpiration. The guy was an odd engineer.. no idea about longevity but it did stay cool in that place.
Plants to cut down on sunlight while giving you something nice to look at seems good. Maybe planters for vegetables etc on a flat roof if it's possible.
Not really, no.
He is risen!
I wonder when we'll get copycat kidnappings and murders conducted not by the government criminals, but regular American criminals. A huge number of these "arrests" are being done with plain clothes, no warrants, no ID, unmarked vehicles etc. We'll probably never hear about it.
What time is it
It's possible that CSIS is not permitted/able to give it to him, even if he decides he wants it. He could be the grave national security threat that prompted the gag order.
