Bedroom windows are a sleep hygiene problem for anyone who doesn't plan to wake up at dawn year round. I've installed blackout curtains as I moved, but they don't work all that well.
Whenever I need sun I go outside. Or usually I’m at work where there are massive windows and great views of the city.

In today’s world there are choices but the choice is made by those in power “for us”, so we don’t even need to worry about making a choice. They say you want windows, huge lawns, low rise buildings and planty of parking space. If you can’t afford it you go homeless.
Or you could move elsewhere if you can't afford to develop something custom. There is no entitlement to someone else's property.

Huh, just use external blinds? They are installed in most houses in Germany and work very well. Also good three pane windows cut down noise enormously

This article and the underlying politics seems to be confused because it's confusing a bedroom and a living space. For college dorms obviously that's likely to be the same thing. But the problem here is arising from not having windows in a living space (e.g. where someone studies), not a bedroom.
If this proposed regulation (no comment on if it's a good idea) were to make any sense it should be saying "areas of an apartment where people are likely to spend a lot of time not sleeping should have a window", not areas intended for sleeping. If the apartment is one room those might be the same thing, of course. If I had an apartment with one bedroom and one other room, I'd rather have the window in the other room.

They're students at UT Austin, I'm pretty sure they'll be alright.
I have no idea why I would want a window in a bedroom (aside from as a fire exit). It seems more likely to be a nuisance.

Is this the same community that champions human-centered design and architecture, a la Christopher Alexander, Jane Jacobs, etc.?
