    Along side this, I can’t believe that collectively we don’t heat buildings. What’s the point of 100 apartments each maintaining an inefficient little boiler rather than a single big efficient boiler for the whole building (or maybe 2 so that there’s then contingency)

      And give the ability to collectively bargain on energy prices, boiler insurance, and repairs?

      Not a chance! There’s too much money to be made making sure everybody is isolated and alone.
