  • I live near a couple fairly affluent areas and it’s insane how little time those places are actually occupied by residents/renters/anyone-that’s- not-a-contractor. Massive, sprawling properties that could comfortably accommodate like 3-4 families (or uncomfortably, perhaps 9-10?!)… I drive by these houses year-round and have never even noticed any cars or lights on or any signs of life coming from anywhere on/around the property. I guarantee some of these mansions are gobbling up resources for heating/cooling/etc without a soul inside to benefit from any of it–if anything it’s more to preserving the condition of the house and the contents within. The amount of resources these monstrosities take to build and maintain is ridiculous. I realize that it does fuck-all in the grand scheme, but i feel like it’s an example of the kind of thoughtless waste these people leave in their wake.
