Now that lighting is very cheap thanks to LED lighting, why do we have big windows or lots of windows in our houses and our apartments in northern latitudes?
It doesn't make any sense since it increases heating and cooling costs significantly around the year. Having a nice view of your yard really isn't worth the increased energy use.
If you want to see your yard or garden, walk out of the door to see them.

Even the Mathias Cormann-led OECD has identified Australia's capital gains tax discount and negative gearing as problematic tax concessions.
Why the OECD and New South Wales Treasury are sounding the alarm on Australia's housing crisis and how the $23 billion capital gains tax discount is pricing first-home buyers out of the market to subsidise wealthy property investors.

"Because 52 percent of Millennials and Gen Zers have a full-time job and at least one “side-hustle.” They call it “polyworking” now, because apparently we just need to keep making up cutesy terms and writing trend pieces to make up for the fact that nearly half of US workers make below a living wage."
“'Existing housing, people that own their homes, we’re gonna keep them wealthy,' he said in a room full of people and also cameras. 'We’re gonna keep those prices up. We’re not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody that didn’t work very hard can buy a home.'
Oh? People haven’t worked hard enough? Really?"

"''I don't want to drive housing prices down,' he said — as seen in the admittedly off-putting animation above. 'I want to drive housing prices up for people who own homes.'
You don't need to be a stable genius to understand where the winners and losers are in this scenario."

Friends, my roommate bailed on me with almost no notice, and I am trying to raise funds to to be able to stay where I am. Rent here is crazy and I can't afford it alone, so I am trying to raise 3 months of their share until I can find and vet a new roommate.
I had my first roommate interview a few nights ago. They texted me and told me they were on their way and never showed up.

"We all need a safe place to live. Instead of addressing sky-high rents, politicians and their billionaire friends are passing laws that make #homelessness worse while trying to pass the blame of their failures onto #homeless people and #immigrants. Their goal is to sow division to distract us from reality. #Housing is too expensive for millions of Americans, and politicians refuse to ensure that everybody has the housing they need. "
