> San Francisco is one of the most humid cities in the US (so much that mold can be a problem).

I've lived in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia and mold has never not been a problem in those states. I have never lived in San Francisco though so I can't compare.

A friend of mine lived out in the upper 40s for a bit. I don't think mold was an issue for the building so much as it was for their poor dog that perpetually had some sort of skin condition in 'till they both moved somewhere more arid. San Francisco is a peninsula so you're surrounded by large bodies of water on most sides, of course it's going to be really humid. Winter is brutally humid especially if you're west of Twin Peaks.

That’s odd, I was just in Savanah and every place I went there smelled like mold. It was overpowering in one store I went into, where a local remarked that you don’t notice after awhile.

That sort of reminds me of Bali: their new airport already smelled like mold a year after opening. I lived in the south for a few years but I never remember smelling mold so thickly.

“Never not been a problem” it was a double negative I think you are agreeing.

Yeah, I was in a COVID medicine haze, I think I misread that.
