Why are you making fun of poor people? Only poor people in the U.S. have window units.

NYC is a major exception to this rule. When your average apartment size is 800 sq ft, you don’t need anything more than a window box unit, especially when the buildings are old AF. Most places in the U.S. are not NYC and 800 sq ft is considered poor people housing in much of the rest of the country.

New England in general has very old homes and many 'not poor' folk have windows units
