Only my neighbor to the West, and everybody[else] hates him. He's been given 30-days notice for not-HOA violations. I've been putting up with the jerk's mental state for two years. A neighbor on the other side moved away to get away from his threats of violence, I just do a concealed carry. How did you know this anyway. ??

He seems to be a big fan of exterior insulation and he has shown homes with open walls.

Where does the wiring and plumbing go? Are you going to have that in plain sight?
Use you imagination (cabinets and built-ins). In the case of domes, the interior walls should be radial and the doorbell and porch light are all that's needed on the exterior. Maybe a built-in Christmas laser lightshow?

The two layers are lapped for a reason. A single layer would have gaps at the edges.
