I forget where I read this quote but have always loved it:
"When I was a teenager, I read about all of these Bay Area guys that launched startups from their garage.
I thought 'Man, those guys must be really tough!'. Why? Because I'm from Canada and working in garages in the winter is really cold."
Without HVAC, it can still be tough.
Here you go!

> That's one of California's hidden advantages: the mild climate means there's lots of marginal space. In cold places that margin gets trimmed off.
Imagine living somewhere where you have so much spare space that the only issue is whether the weather is good enough to be comfortable in it.
