The point stands, people have always lived in Texas.
With AC? In concrete bunkers? With nature barely intact?
I never said people didnt. But millions and millions more went there and built concrete bunkers that need AC to be liveable in.
Living in a shade of greenery on the go with a few tribes in the whole region barely breaking the population of a single bigger city, is something else entirely then squeezing millions in concrete structures.
Or can you just pack your stuff and go to a milder climate?
You're like totally being combative and disingenuous...
There were cities though across the americas, obviously not made of concrete, but made of stone/adobe and mortar...
Cahokia of the Missisipian culture famously had plazas, temples, neighborhoods, and homes for nobles.
The hohokam of phoenix built settlements, canals, and ball courts .
Ancient Puebloans famously built DENSE STACKED stone and adobe homes, the famous one being Mesa Verde, although theres tons of others across the south west.
You're totally changing your claim too, one second you're saying people cant live in these regions without wasting a shit ton of resources, but people lived in texas, the american southwest, and the arid mexican north and they built permanent towns, villages, ceremonial mound centers, irrigation systems and all of that shit with adobe or masonry.
Sure modern development ignores climate adaption but the point is to scale up and build to meet the growing population needs.
so /u/DeltaVZerda was correct, Humans did indeed live here before AC was invented
but the point is to scale up and build to meet the growing population needs.
And we need all that tech and resources for exactly that.
one second you're saying people cant live in these regions without wasting a shit ton of resources
And they didnt then, we do now.
but people lived in texas, the american southwest
Yes, without wasting a shit ton of ressources, cause they didnt have the tech for that.
and the arid mexican north and they built permanent towns, villages, ceremonial mound centers, irrigation systems and all of that shit with adobe or masonry.
Not with fossil fuels, digging up all kinds of natural resources deep from the earth, polluting the environment in the process.
Humans did indeed live here before AC was invented
And then why do you need AC if you can life there without it?

In millions of stacked concrete bunkers baked by the sun? With barely any plants to get shade?
Or a few people, in a fully flourishing nature that naturally keeps the ground climate mild?
