#or buy a house out in leitrim or something and spend half your life commuting because you're just a little wage slave anyway

it's another example of how backwards the entire housing system is that the people who can actually afford the most energy efficient homes are the ones who least "need" them.

they can better afford the high energy bills of a lower rated house, while people already on lower incomes are further stretched because they can only afford an older house with higher energy bills.

as the saying goes after all, it's expensive to be poor.
