I was gonna ask, how common are ACs up there? Do apartment renters really not have them?

They're not legally required, only heat. So they're really rare, none of the apartments I've been in here had them unless they were a friend's place in a closer to upscale than not type of building. If that description makes sense. Programmer type of income but not programmer with money to blow kind of income types would be the ones to live there.

Nearest cooling center to me is probably downtown so it's... Troubling. If the power went out here I'd be fucked. My new gf would pick me up again to chill in her house, sure, but my roommates are disabled veterans and have a cat. So I'd still be worried regardless.

Ah, but that's getting off topic from what you asked. Basically, no, most apartments don't have AC and there's enough areas without power that there's a lot of people at risk from this heat. Just based on hospital admissions I'm wagering a dozen heat related deaths happened Sunday and Monday here.
