the legislature passed a law requiring that all new housing has to be equipped with A/C.

It wouldn't surprise me if that was a requirement, I know the I-10 corridor is a pretty lonely drive with few and far between places to purchase water.

Also, the I-40 corridor between Needles and ................, is pretty lonely also.
