I was with you until the wool in Florida. I lived in FL almost my entire life and there were times I’d have taken off my skin Hellraiser-style just to be less hot
Admittedly I run cool, was born here. But ride to work in the Merino wool t-shirts from Unbound or silk/Merino thin knit sweater and also merino socks, and arrive absolutely presentable, so much better than cotton, not better than linen, but better looking for an office. Only the v-neck though, can’t stand it near my neck, that does itch. And not all brands, only Unbound for the T-shirts. Silk/Merino blend always rocks.
i think it’s cause 2 story homes are much less common here compared to up north
i live in a pretty new apartment building and the AC/insulation is very efficient. although to be honest I don’t even know what I pay in power, my girlfriend usually pays that one
My previous home in FL was two stories and I would nearly always break $300 for power for the hotter half of the year until I got solar panels, and that was with the A/C set to 78F, and I did not have a particularly large home. A newer apartment would definitely had an advantage on that front since you’re surrounded by other units.

In my opinion the only times I’m ever uncomfortably hot is when I’m choosing voluntarily to be in the sun. For example going to beach.
99% of the time I’m in 67 degree AC in a hoodie lol
67F would have cost me a fortune in FL. For some reason, super tall cathedral ceilings are common in FL homes, making cool costs even higher.
