There are hardly any population centers that reach the lower temperature while there’s a shitton of them that reach the hotter one. That should say enough about how dangerous and inhospitable each is.
That’s not true. NYC frequently reaches 0°F and is home to 15 million people. All of northern US, and all of Canada frequently reach 0°F. It’s a fact than anything below 0°F is actively dangerous and anything above 100°F is actively dangerous.
I grew up in Rochester NY, and there are many days with a zero or subzero windchill. Once it gets below 0°F, it is definitely actively dangerous. I’ve waited for a school bus in 7 to 10°F weather without issues.
0°F is way colder than 100°F is hot.

NYC barely ever reaches 0°F according to this site:

Seriously, NYC is closer to having regular 100°F weather than 0°F and it is in the Northern US!
In other terms: -18°C is extremely fucking cold, 38°C is just regular hot.
