> Nobody builds that high rooms any more [...]

All luxury apartments are built like that. Everyone is aware that it's "better" (I guess almost everyone would prefer to live in a high ceiling room with big windows, who doesn't have some kind of reverse-claustrophobia)

But since half of the world has an irrational hard on for suburban ghettos, mostly that's where we waste our economic surplus.



> reverse-claustrophobia

Agoraphobia ;)


I was thinking of that term, but I have no idea whether it applies indoors..? :)

Anyway, thanks!
