I shared that open concept article with a friend and we are now fiercely debating it (I am pro walls; my house is open concept and 1. It’s fucking freezing in the winter in Chicago and 2. GOD IT IS SO FUCKING LOUD)

What I like about that article is the history of housing it includes— I've done some of reading about this for my thesis but only up til 1850 at the latest
