I'd say maybe places where the air temperature regularly gets to >110 F aren't meant for human habitation

What's your definition of "regularly"? You're probably ruling out most of the US southwest. I made the same comment about people living in areas that are routinely >90% humidity, mosquito infested jungles and was totally slammed for it. People moving to those locations are the odd ducks to me. People born and raised there don't have a choice.

Really, it's not "don't live there," as humans have inhabited these conditions for thousands of years. But "don't live there and expect the same standard of living."
Contrast living in an adobe house/masonry house with no AC, taking a siesta/riposa in the hottest hours, and tolerating a bit of sweat, vs in-ground pool, AC set to 68, driving around mid-day in a rolling greenhouse.
