Again, I don't disagree with your broader point, I'm just pointing out that "People settled there because A/C became available" is factually inaccurate.

Houston would not exist in its current form without A/C, same with most of Louisiana and some of Florida. A/C is part of what caused the population boom in these regions.

the american southwest would be much less settled without it. it's not that nobody went it's that way more people did after.
