I’d rather be cold than hot because I’m not allowed to walk around naked and don’t have liquid cooled undergarments.
So much this. You can be warm in the cold with adequate clothing. You cannot be cool in the heat.
I'd rather not have to scrape ice of my windshield and have about one month of hot days (lucky enough to have AC at home, which isn't common in the bay area).
I don’t have to scrape ice off my windshield because I not only work from home but also have a two car garage
You don't have to scrape ice off of your windshield. There are products now that you can spray on it to melt the ice. Have been for a very long time, over a decade, in fact.
The true point is cold conditions that hurt your skin, but ok. Here I am thinking it's a bit chilly because my home got to 66° and that works for me.
It's worth it, the cold keeps the mosquitoes down
Dude. It's 2 degrees outside right now. I'm pretty sure this cold keeps the polar bears down. Or....actually up. I guess they'd be in Canada.

There are no mosquitos here because there is no standing water. There were mad mosquitos in Kansas despite the cold because there is standing water.
......what? Do.....do you not see the massive lake we have?
I live near it and walk around it for exercise. Comparatively, we have no standing water because of gradients in elevation. Large parts of the midwest are flat as far as the eye can see.
Why wouldn't you be allowed to walk around naked?
The moms at the grocery store would be horrified
Ew, you're leaving your house? And dealing with people? People are the worst.
