I agree with you to a point. People can get used to high heats. However we are going to be reaching problem temperatures soon. Look up wet bulb temperatures. I will drop this quote from the wiki page on wet bulb temperatures:
Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.

Been there, done that, in San Diego (technically Lakeside, but it’s metro San Diego) when the Santa Anas came up from Baja, Mexico. I didn’t have room fans at the time either. IIRC, most people in San Diego at the time–mid 90s–didn’t have a/c.
