Or, know, we could just crack open the bottom (in the case of the popular double hung, the top) of the window a little bit. But it is-3c (yes, we Americans understand metric) where I am now, so I have no interest in doing that. No Gulf Stream keeping us relatively mild in winter over here.
Listen, you want to brag about health care, public transit, intercity high speed rail, or historic buildings, fine, you got us there. But stop with the air if superiority about everything else.
Correct me if I am wrong because I really don't know. But if you crack the bottom open can't someone just slide the window open?
They would have to break through the screen first. Us Americans prefer not to let bugs in. And if it’s really a worry, there are stops or locks that can be put in. But honestly, it’s nice sometimes. Saved me a locksmith call more than once.
Of course, both windows could just be smashed. You want to tell me European homes are some kind of fortress that thieves can’t get in?
That isn't even a concern in a place like Compton (I lived in South Gate which borders Compton and Watts). Because even in places with a lot of violence, you don't often get someone just coming through a window in the middle of the day if they see it open a crack because it's pretty easy to defend yourself against someone trying to come through your window.
Now sure, if you leave them open like that at night, it's a bigger risk. But even then, home invasions mostly happen when no one is at home. Which makes sense.
they have a lock that stop them from sliding to far up. un do the lock and they slide all way up. most of one i have seen the lock locks when you pull the window down so you don't have worry about for getting it.
We DO have some fine historic buildings.
They all come with tilting windows btw.
