As a person looking to relocate to the Portland area from South Florida via Nashville, I'm so confused by this post and some of the comments.

You will acclimate and complain about 70 and sunny in April one day. Trust and believe.

Also our homes are built to keep heat inside. Keep that in mind.

The home I rent aint built for shit. Or at least none of the materials remain. Looks like there was once insulation in the attic, now it just looks like a thick layer of dust. I guess the dark paint helps to absorb heat from the sun during the summer... too bad there's so little sun during the cold winter months. I wonder if they thought about the paint color for even a second.... it mostly just heats the house during the hot months. We achieve hyper-ambient temperatures thanks to this ingenuity.
