I just spent 5 years locked in a room with no window and 24x7 artificial lighting, so they have it way better than some modern folks.

Let's not be ridiculous. This room has no artificial light and almost no natural light, minimal ventilation, no water, no electricity, which is the norm nowadays even for cheap apartments.

In Toronto you could get $1800 a month for that or sell it for $600k.
