It’s a good thing this architecture professor got the windowless bedrooms that were often marketed to low-income college students banned. Otherwise these kids might be forced to live in inhumane conditions. (Picture completely unrelated.)

What share of architecture programs require students to pass an economics class to graduate? I ask because this story profiles the architect who just persuaded the ICC to ban windowless bedrooms in its model building code. It offers zero consideration of how this will affect building costs or rents

i don't think windowless bedrooms would be remotely necessary given actual yimby policies, and going to the mat to defend them seems like a distraction and bad idea.

Tradeoffs are real. Ignoring the unintended consequences of well-intentioned reforms often harms the most vulnerable.
