Good luck reversing that reality on a 'national / global' scale!

Well, thank all y'all for your support.

I know about cultural inertia, obsolete media like TV and pictures hanging on walls; and all the things you didn't mention like zoning laws and mortgage financing.

My thinking is that eventually there will be a carrot-and-stick situation. The stick is energy independence and the carrot is psychological well-being. Being cooped up in little boxes makes people a little cra-cra (present company excepted of course ).

edit: If you're stuck in a box [shaped room], put triangles in the four corners of the ceiling. The room will collect less dust and have better acoustics.
