It should be noted that the phrase "shadow banking" contains the pejorative connotation of back alley loan sharks. Many in the financial services industry find this phrase offensive. A much better term is "market-based finance.

Sure, but have you seen the sheer amount of glass going into new construction these days? The newish "McModern" style in particular will have windows taking up entire walls of the main living spaces. Even if builders spent the extra to put in extremely efficient windows (they don't) that's still massive amounts of wall area which is thermally equivalent to 1950s uninsulated stud walls.

for those that don't know what a McModern is:

Breaking from the current topic but I think it's interesting looking at how Target has managed to establish itself as "Better than Walmart" and a huge part of it is that they're not actually open 24 hours a day

Target operating on "regular sleep hours plus 2 hours either way" had a massive centralizing impact on their status as "the retailer that's just like you"

Kinda reminds me of how McDonald's is currently trying to rebrand itself with healthier options and 'better' burgers.
