What people say
- AC broke two weeks ago. It's 99 degrees. Landlord says the repairman is "on the way." My neighbor said the same thing happened to her last August and she's still waiting.
- It hit 118 degrees here yesterday. I know people say Phoenix always gets hot but this is different. We had 9 consecutive days above 115. My electric bill is $480 this month and I still feel guilty running the AC because my neighbor is elderly and I know she turns hers off to save money. This is a public health emergency being treated like a weather forecast.
- My 7-year-old asked me why the sky is orange again this summer. I didn't have a good answer. Wildfire smoke has settled over our city for 3 weeks straight. Schools keep canceling outdoor recess. This is just our normal now?
- Noise from construction at 6 AM every day is driving me insane. Don't we have noise ordinances? This has been going on for months!
