I Live Like Fancy Artists in New York City
5 February 2010
Turns out cold houses is what all the hip kids have these days.
Actually my house is a tropical paradise compared to some of those mentioned in the article. My thermostat is currently at 46, low enough that the heat hardly ever comes on and high enough that I don’t worry (much) about pipes freezing.
I was particularly impressed with Janet Smith, who apparently lives in sub-zero temperatures on a mountain in Colorado, in a house “typically ten degrees higher” than the temperature outside. But then I saw a picture of her and realized that she was cheating: she has a big moppy dog.

Someday, maybe, people will have no choice but to live in warmth. Soak up the cold while you can. We live in a brand new building and haven’t turned our heat on once. It’s never been below 67 degrees. Portland isn’t the coldest of cities, but it gets well below freezing several times a year. 67 degrees. Zero heat. Do you think the hipsters would be pissed?
