        But they specified "sleeping with a window open." -- nm - mara Jul 21, 07:30 3
        
        Right. Still there would be at least a few months in the fall and spring where it would be the better option. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:38 2
        
        Oh, right. Yes, it's better in terms of energy consumption for sure. I suppose some people just prefer AC. -- nm - mara Jul 21, 07:43 1

    - So of course this will become a story about "big government" instead of the dangers of privatizing public services. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:20 1
      - These stories are rife in public sector cities as well. It's about modern day "safety" rigidity. -- (link) - Name Withheld by Request Jul 21, 07:52
