My brother lives in an apartment that doesn’t have air conditioning

My brother Jordan just got his first apartment in a big city.

It is a nice 2-bedroom spot that comes with a balcony and an amazing view of a nearby park.

He loves living in the city and his apartment is perfect for him. It’s great that he has the extra room so that when I visit, I have somewhere to sleep comfortably. Unfortunately, he mentioned that it doesn’t come with air conditioning, which is normal for the city that he lives in. Most of the buildings were built before central air was normal for homes, and many of them don’t have the room to install ductwork to provide heating and cooling. Furthermore, it would be expensive to install HVAC inside those buildings, so most apartments don’t offer cooling as part of the agreement. I suggested that my brother purchase a window air conditioner for his apartment, so that in the Summer, it will be comfortable to sleep. I know that I need to have air conditioning when I sleep, so if he doesn’t have that I won’t be able to stay overnight in his apartment. I live in a different state than Jordan, and most if not all our homes have heating and cooling, so this is never a concern for me while I am home. In fact, when Jordan comes to visit me, he loves having the air conditioner, so I am surprised that he has not yet purchased one for himself. I plan on visiting the city during the Summer, and I hope that my brother purchases his A/C by then.
