Central AC is middle class and works out cheaper.
Those with the money would never want to be a part of an AC pool as it would deprive them of their independence and reduce their status and make them one with the masses.
Malls, departmental stores, theatres and middle class apartment blocks have central AC, common laundry facilities, common parking lot, common elevator and the like.
Here, in Mumbai, among the posh housing societies, no one would dream of being a part of anything that is shared with others.
One plush apartment building can have just 4 residents with each apartment being a fine duplex with carpet area 4500/5000 square feet or more with a minimum price tag of $ 10 or 12 millions.
Each apartment is a designer home.
You know nothing about the high life. Stick to your lower middle class hovel of two tiny bedrooms and an office in the attic.
Finally, the debate shouldn't center on old money versus new money but rather the focus should be on class, culture and source of money 9ill-gotten or clean).
Get it, jealous Jewish American beggar and retard? Pardon me, I forget you have to live in apartment buildings. How pedestrian. In a house, central air is more efficient, therefore more environmentally friendly (less emmisions). It also feels better since you have more design control on flow.(Though my preference is for no AC). Look - you can rant on and on if you want, but it is clear to everyone that reads you that you are a poser. Even if you were slightly wealthy it wouldnt matter. Class is not something one can buy themselves into. You can try to be classy - either you are or you arent. And you ain't.

His house has wheels on it. lol. He doesnt even have champagne taste. His taste is lousy. You know this - you come from Greenwich where you see the real thing. I bet during his off line hours, he busses tables.

Best of luck with it all.
Staying comfortable ain't easy!
i love my ceiling fans and could use at least one more. Surgery was a success. We fixed my broken unit and saved me a visit to Cosco. Ceiling Fans are nice, and (hate to use the word) classy, but they are now selling these vertical fan units that are even better. But they dont gibe with ceiling fans. Our house also has one of those big central attic fans. Cools our house off in moments - though we have to wait for the outside temp to dip below 80 to make it worthwhile.

No, its a question of personal preference. I dont like AC air.
Why are you obsessed with money? rabbee: well here in the low humity, of the west. i prefer my swamp cooler, solves two problems at once. other than having an ionizer, and cheaper to operate than a/c. it humidifies and cools very efficiently, in a low humidity climate.

I know about such things (I lived in southern Arizona for 10 years). I have fond memories of cleaning out plugged spiders on my roof in 100 degrees in June because I was too lazy to service them in April. Swamp coolers are the best! Except during the monsoon season. Then you pine for AC. All old construction had swamp coolers - new construction had AC. The only time I had AC was when I lived in apartments.

My in-laws in upstate NY have a whole house fan - it's fantastic!(Theirs is in a cupula.) He runs it overnight and we're never hot while sleeping. Then shuts it off in the morning when the outside temp begins to exceed the inside temp. It gets warm late in the day but is effective otherwise. The ceiling fans are great for sleeping too - no noise. I think I might have seen the vertical fans you're talking about - they look like towers?... they work pretty well do they?

Had to remind myself what a swamp cooler is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cool... Very interesting. 1/2 the price to install and 1/4 the cost to operate compared wih central a/c.

We bought one and it doesnt work as well, because the airflow clashes with the ceiling fan airflow. One or the other, not both.

Condoms can also be used as water balloons.
If that isn't too controversial! I was actually referring to the incorrect stats they cite regarding condom failure rates to persuade "good Catholics" to abstain. The water balloon part was actually pretty funny.

Even out west they dont work if it gets humid (like in Southern Arizona in July/August during the Monsoons).

All old construction had swamp coolers - new construction had AC. The only time I had AC was when I lived in apartments. rabbee: well i would not expect the monsoon season, in arizona to be much different than here in colorado. for even then, the humidity seldom gets above 30%. with the moistrue flow, from the baha penisula. but because of the mountains, any thing above 20% humidity results in a exponential chance of rain. and because of the mountains up-draft, a 30% humidity being about 100% chance for rain. but of course when it rains, in a semi-arid climate. the thunderstoms works like a giant swamp cooler, dramaticly lowering the temperature. so you, win either way. and the nice thing about, some the window models they have now. is they have a panel, that you can insert ice blocks in. which dramaticly helps on the cooling effort. since the cooler you keep the water resivoir, the more efficiently they cool. and with the newer type pads, you do not have to worry about rot.
