Is it though? I find that almost every American I know closes the blinds - the exact opposite of what you're describing.

- birdyrooster 4y agoRight and when we aren’t, we are exposing the window because it’s open to ventilate for fresh air. However, I just considered many people are in high rises where privacy isn’t as serious of a concern and so you might have less window treatments in that case.
- jimmygrapes 4y agoI close my blinds at home because if I don't then I get people peering in, either curiously or with malintent; I have had my apartments broken into more than once before (thankfully while I was away), presumably because someone saw valuables. Granted, this happened in those "bad neighborhoods" you're recommended to avoid when you can afford to, but still. Ain't risking it, even though I've run out of valuables.

- jimmygrapes 4y agoSounds lovely to me. I sure do wish I lived in a high trust society surrounded by people culturally compatible. Alas, as an American, diversity is both our strength and our weakness. Good on the Dutch though, current and historical struggles notwithstanding.
