It's obviously possible to live in the dessert without ac, but maybe
not so much in the typical tract ranch house. I worked with a man once
who had done extensive consulting work in Iran (this was a couple of
decades ago), and he described the old government buildings with their
thick walls and ancient system of ventilation as being nearly chilly
in the summer.
I daresay that your typical sealed window high rise would be a death
trap -- a big oven.
