The format is perfectly all right with modern lighting, forced
ventilation and plumbing, provided they are not overcrowded.

It's almost the case with the house in our garden (on the site of the
infamous brothel).

The front is onto the side street (we are one away from a corner), with
full windows. The rear overlooks our garden, so is only allowed one small
high-up obscured pane for its kitchen (sole natural light in there). One
side overlooks a neighbour in the side street, and is blank. The fourth
overlooks us and is allowed one small, barely opening obscured pane.

I've never understood anyone owning a house where the front windows are
actually on the pavement.* Don't kids just bang on them every time they
pass?* And you'd certainly want them obscured with netting or something,
therefore you have no view.

The whole idea of net curtains is you can see out, but others can't see
in - provided you don't have the lights on inside - in which case it'll
be evening/night and you will close the main curtains.

Now you know how net curtains work.
