    I’m pretty sure its illegal to advertise a windowless room as a bedroom in Canada.

      It might not be windowless; consider midwinter, when a real window will just be a dark rectangle for most of the important parts of the morning and evening. Having a fake window showing somewhere bright and warm could help lift one’s spirits if you didn’t think about it too much.

        or if you’re neuro spicy you probably have blackout curtains so daylight doesn’t matter anyway.

        i love my blackout curtains.

      Basement windows have to be larger than a specific standard. In your basement window is a foot high, that no longer counts as a bedroom iirc

        Which gives you really fucky barred windows that face a cement wall the same size as the window, that lets in less light than an angled window 1/4 of the size.

        PS: fuck illegal basement suites in new builds in Vancouver.
