Have people not lived in those places in the past?

We have the choice of affordable, door-to-door air conditioning now, so why should we do without if we don’t have to?
They have, but if you mean before the introduction of the automobile, it was in an era where nobody had to commute to get groceries because a majority of the population were subsistence farmers.
Do you know nothing about the history of the east coast? Do you ACTUALLY think everyone who lived there before 1900 was a subsistence farmer?
