Los Angeles has very pleasant summers by East Coast standards. Many even fairly well off homes do not have air conditioners.

It's not great, but it's a lot better than lots of more northern cities like Boston. I literally cannot sleep in Boston during the summer without air conditioning.

In my only experience with the East Coast (CT), I also noticed the general lack of air conditioning, even in homes which to my Midwestern mindset surely had to have state of the art HVAC systems (they didn't). Oh how I long for 70-degree summers.

That is the general appeal of these places, for sure.
