A year ago, before I moved into my current house, I lived in a rental house in a neighborhood in transition (lots of tiny houses, close together, perfect for families starting out). Unfortunately, with the economy, most were sold & became rentals. That's when the problems began with unscrupulous landlords & unfit tenants; things went downhill fast.

I only mention this because one thing I had never seen before was the unusual window treatments people started using. I would see newspaper, bedsheets, towels, old clothes, tarps, paper towels, garbage bags, soap, you name it, all used in an effort to give some privacy or just to block light. The city finally passsed a window treatment law, listing exactly what could & could not be used for window coverings!
