why. because state used a lazy proxy, people bricked the windows, tax did not even catch the rich, and now the houses are worse. wrong conclusion, wrong metric, wrong incentive, new problem, old problem still there. same move as number of jobs or number of reactors approved. you count the easy thing, then everyone games the count.

reply on why you think I posted this image here

• The Policy: King William III introduced the Window Tax in England and Wales in 1696 to tax people based on the number of windows in their homes as an indicator of wealth. [1, 2, 3 original ↗]
• The Evasion: Property owners and landlords bricked up window openings to reduce their tax liability, giving rise to "blind windows". [1, 2, 3]
• The Impact: The lack of light and fresh air caused severe health problems, leading critics to dub it a tax on "light and air". [1, 2, 3]
• The Repeal: Public outcry finally forced the government to abolish the tax in 1851. [1, 2, 3]
