I live in a pretty old house in the midwest, built 1929, bought in '21, single-story, ~1300ish sqft, and with a large, spacious basement. Every time summer comes around I've had issues with the basement getting MUCH colder than the rest of the house (like >10 degrees F difference), presumably due to poorly-insulated floors and...
If you pull air from the basement, it's going to get replaced with warmer, wetter air from upstairs. As it cools the air is going to deposit that water on the coolest surfaces. You might be trading this problem for another, more damaging one.

The company I work for lost a MAJOR customer last fall. Management panicked, and rushed everyone to sign a non-compete agreement. Only after getting all the agreements signed did they let everyone know what had happened, and that there would be massive layoffs.
Fucking psychos had just gone through a huge hiring phase. Some new employees had only been there a matter of months before finding out they would lose their job, and wouldn't be able to get a new one in the same industry unless they waited two years.
I've already had this argument with people I work with. It doesn't matter if a non-compete is enforceable or not. They're meant to demoralize and demotivate employees so they stay with the company at low pay. Someone that has just lost their job isn't going to risk a potentially life-destroying lawsuit.
I know they would sue, because the process is the goal, and they have deeper pockets than I do.
No. Unless that hot water is very, very hot vapor, you’re just adding more mass that’s going to be cooled by the original cold water. And even with vapor, the heat transfer between a hot gas and cool liquid just doesn’t happen fast enough, the vapor will be in the atmosphere before the water heats up very much.

Options for equalizing temperature between the basement and the rest of the house in summer?

If you have some cold water evaporating, is it possible to make it evaporate sooner by adding hot water?
How hot would it have to be?
