You really need to pay attention to the weather in the spring and fall to keep your house from becoming a sauna. When the humidity breaks you need to open windows to get the steam out, or run the AC. Then when you run the AC you can't shut it off and leave it because the system is full of moisture and will mold up the ducting, you should really switch directly to heat, then you can turn it off.
Not sure I blame Pitt for this, reusing CA house designs in other climates has been an issue for decades. Toll brothers did that a lot and screwed people over in northern climates.
The ecosystem in Louisiana as a whole is a lot more complicated than most people give it credit. Heck you have to keep a damn spotless house because the slightest bit of food missed will have an army of roaches moved in by morning. You can only have open windows at certain times of the day because of the Bug Spray Truck going by every night, and often certain hours will have heavier swarms of bugs beating at your screen trying to get in.
And lord help you if there is too much rain this year, the foundation under your house might get too muddy and slightly sink. Meaning now the minor elevation difference causes your house to violently shake.
Half the world's problems could likely be solved if the Jews/Pakis just....stopped living there too. But they stay, to the detriment of us all.
In all seriousness though its mostly inertia, you get used to it to the point where you don't even recognize how much effort it takes. Its just life. Especially for those who don't have the brain to have a lot of career options, like the trawlers who make up a huge part of the economy and the field only exists there. And since America loves seafood, someone has to live there to catch it.
Moisture management in the south is no joke.

Have people considered...not living in a swamp?

Somewhat O/T, but the "crawfish guy" on YouTube shorts is hilarious and effective. I don't even really like them, and he made me want some.
Well, I mean a lot of 'em moved to Texas...
Also don't set inside temp below outside dew point if you can help it.
