Crazy to see this on here! I grew up very close to this place.

Fresno gets crazy hot in the summer, often well into the 100s or up to 40+ c.

When you go down there, it's pretty shocking how cool it is, even in the middle of summer. Even with tons of natural light pouring in.

Really makes you wonder why the heck we build homes the way we do in such hot places.

I was there too kilroy. (Easterby/Kings Canyon/Roosevelt/CSUF) Growing up in the 60s I don't remember it being that hot, but it definitely got there before I left a couple of years ago. I blame the CVP, not climate change, for the increased temperatures. Perhaps I'm wrong.
