We Cannot Countenance Windowless Bedrooms

A strange opinion that's been floating around lately is that we need to accept windowless bedrooms as an imminent fact of life if we want to solve the housing crisis. Surprise, surprise, this take seems to originate with chronic bad-idea haver Matthew Yglesias, who wrote an October Substack on the issue.

I cannot sleep at night, I have a messed up circadian rhythm that only lets me sleep during the day. I don't mind, I have perfected my layers of blackout curtains. And I would still never choose to live in a windowless room. I want fresh air and I want to be able to look outside when crazy guys on the sidewalk are screaming at each other.

In most jurisdictions that require a window, I don't think there's any requirement that the window open. And in converted office towers, most of the units are gonna be pretty high up, most units are gonna be pretty far from the sidewalk.

Please post an article that I can read without jumping through hoops. I have no idea what an 'incognito tab' is or the other workarounds
