My in-laws are bitching about the heat and how it’s driving their electric bill up to keep their massive extremely-windowed house cool.
My in-laws also refuse to plant trees in their massive, empty, flat, baby-shit-green lawn because it “ruins the view”… Of the road. And their neighbors house. And the tips of the trees behind the neighbors house.
They also refuse to get new windows, because their 30 year old windows aren’t broken. they don’t need curtains because they got tired of changing them every season and holiday with themed festive or otherwise-coordinated-with-mood colors… And of course awnings would just make the whole house look ugly, because a large beige rectangle would just look so much worse with awnings…
I get not wanting to spend thousands on new installations, up-front costs are a bitch.

But planting trees is so cheap…
