Dual pane windows were our best investment.

definitely! i can set the thermostat to 80 degrees and have a few fans on and it feels nice inside even though it's blazing hot outside. same with los angeles winter, i never have to turn the heat on.

We also have dual pane windows but I guess it's the difference in living in a mobile home and a house although it is well insulated and made well.We have 1 AC window unit for the summer and an electric heater and a propane heater for the winter and it's cold in the winter and hotter at least in my corner of the LR.

I can tolerate 80° to 85° but prefer cooler. Being a San Francisco boy, I'm used to cold and 70 there is a heatwave (at least in the neighborhood I grew up).
On our hottest days here in Silicon Valley I've "commuted" up to Pacifica (south of San Francisco) for some fog. The weather there never fails me!
finreporter , the coldest winter I ever spent was a December at DisneyLand. It was a freak year where the temps dropped into the mid 40s to mid 50s with lots of humidity. Froze our arses off. At Paramount Studios the cold wind was whiping around so much we all had to buy "themed" sweatshirts at high prices just to be even moderately warm. I used to live near Walnut Creek and worked in Berkeley. Going through the Caldecott Tunnel from the hot side in Walnut Creek to the cold side in Berkeley we could get a temperature swing of 25 degrees in less than a mile. I always had to keep a sweater in my office in Berkeley. And in August and September I would marvel to see folks on the Walnut Creek BART platform with parkas on their way into the City. My dad reported the same thing from when he was stationed at the Presidio in SF during WWII. He would be in winter uniforms in SF, but when he went to visit colleagues in Antioch they were in summer uniforms. He was reprimanded once for being in the wrong uniform.
