"Jet stream gone wild": US forecasts blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome and atmospheric river all at once

25. I live in an old building.

The windows are raised off the ground, crank outward and don't support A/C's. One tenant put one in sideways but the unit failed within months and he also got reamed by the landlord.

I've been thinking of saving up and asking them to install a wall unit but I have to pay for it and the labor. They will have to knock a whole in the wall, etc. They put these in all of the units that are short-term rentals (aka airbnb). There are only a few actual tenants in the building and they don't like doing anything except the most urgent things for us.

You may ask, why do I continue to live here....rent control and I like my apartment.

Never really had problems sleeping in my bedroom over the past 30 years. It's been the last 5 that have been difficult but it has been getting even worse in the last 3 years. Longer and hotter stretches of heat.
