    I don’t know if anyone reads these or not, but I have a few questions about the Hydrogen villages.
    One, in the design by Ryan Etter, I noticed that the windows cover approximately 80% of the houses, however, I feel that while curtains may be nice, they aren’t always the most compatible, they are at an easy reaching length for younger children, and they still don’t afford much privacy. Is there a plan to maybe instead use double paned windows (better privacy, better sound proofing) with controllable blinds in between the windows? This way, they don’t need to be cleaned, as they are isolated, they can be controlled with a remote, they are hassle free, and they are safe from any touching that might occur with children in the house.
    Two, are these houses going to be able to stand securely in the event of tornados and other natural disasters? What is the plan to go about nature-proofing these houses?
    Three, Dr. Billings mentioned that vehicles will not be allowed or able to drive directly up to the houses. My primary concern with that is, what would be done about emergency services? They can’t do much if they can’t get straight to your house. Also, on the same note, what about any repairs that would be needed? How would people get the tools they need to and from their vehicle to the house, especially if it is something that can’t be easily carried?
    Fourth and final, from what I saw, it doesn’t look like there are many walls to separate bedrooms and other rooms. I understand about wanting the house to be open and breathable, however, as a teenager it is nice to have some privacy. I understand that a design sketch is not final, but I (and probably most teenagers) feel that privacy is nice.
    On the idea of breathability, I have an idea: I have an older collection of WIRED magazines that I like to read, and there was an article by Steven Levy in the June 2017 publication titled “One More Thing,” about Apple’s new headquarters, “The Ring.” In it, I saw that the “Ring” is actually a breathable building, as in it is able to filter air from the outside into the building, clean it, and then “breathe” all of the warm air back out again through the chimneys. Do you think that this could maybe be implemented into the Hydrogen homes?
    If anyone reads this and thinks that it makes any sense, thank you, and I wish to extend my gratitude also to Dr. Billings and his team for coming up with these wonderful ideas for our futures.
    Thank you.
