    Just another example of the externalities of capitalism. Because housing is focused on maximizing profits for the few, instead of housing quality and security for the population, the already extorted renters spend 10x more on energy, which also means dramatically more spend and e-waste for bespoke/temporary appliances, and the greenhouse gas emissions required for all of it.
