As humans, we are a private species by nature. It will be interesting in the years to come to see how the world adapts to the ever increasing population rate and the need for housing and privacy. Of course, there are apartments, and places like this crystal house will be going for a small fortune. Which brings up the question, is it only the rich that can afford to be truly green? How can we bring benefits like this nature-encompassed house to those of a lower economic status? Also, there are multiple studies that reinforce the fact that surrounding yourself in nature makes a person, calmer, less-stressed, and happier. A crystal house seems like a great way to surround yourself with nature, but have the creature comforts of modernity at the same time. But you know, to use an old phrase, people in CRYSTAL houses shouldn't throw stones.... or if you are a boondock saint's fan like I am, "People in glass houses sink sh-sh-sh-ships."
