My understanding is also that homes in Texas generally also have substandard insulation because they come from an era where it was feasible to just open a window and get a breeze going. This came into play a year and a half ago when we had severe cold, one of the exacerbating factors was - those homes weren't well-insulated, so they had to use way more energy for heat than a properly-insulated home would have. Texas is basically a fractal of aggressive and deliberate fuckups all the way down, because ain't no ivory-tower elitist going to tell ME how to build my house/grid/power plant!

It's because it is cheaper. Especially homes built in the last five years seem to be lacking on insulation. > Texas is basically a fractal of aggressive and deliberate fuckups all the way down, because ain't no ivory-tower elitist going to tell ME how to build my house/grid/power plant! Yes. Please don't move here and tell all your friends not to move here.
