There's a big gap between "accept AC" and "build a megapolis in a city named after a bird that bursts into flames."
Phoenix is a slow-rolling disaster regardless of whether it's easier to heat or cool a room to comfort.
there are whole important cultural lifeways related to opening and closing windows at proper times for efficient cooling and ventilation. these work really well — in Europe — and are treasured traditions.
getting people to accept AC is sort of like trying to convince the average American to go grocery shopping on a bicycle. some may accept the idea but only the most European influenced already.
