It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

The NZ housing stock simply sucks.
Throughout winter I go to people houses and get asked to cut the sun blocking trees because "the trees get big and make the house cold".
The other day I was at a house that had to be worth at least 600k and they had a lovely big living room with 2 heaters on full power and semi cirlces of toys around both heaters where the 4 under 6 year old kids sat to play. Other than these areas the house was freezing. No insulation, crap old windows etc etc. They wanted me to cut down a tree that was "blocking all the sun so its cold in here". tree had no leaves, was blocking probably 20% of sun for 1 hour a day.
"Dont cut the tree" says I being a lousy businessman "spend the money on getting this window frame sealed up, feel that breeze comming through?"
"we will fix the window later, its not important, its the tree thats blocking the sun."
God some people are stupid, whats worse is that we act and build houses like NZ has 11 1/2 month of summer. The big problem is that our winters arent cold enough for us to take seriously, but we should, its hurting us worse than we relise.
