I use privacy in my window treatments. I can open or close, or be somewhere in between. Yes, lots of the people around don't use window treatments. Maybe they don't want to spend the money. Your life is an open book when you leave your windows uncovered at night with lights on. Easy for crooks to watch too. Not to mention pervs.
Back in the mid 1980s local thugs came through the neighborhood and tried to kick in back doors. Some of the french doors are easy to kick in. Luckily, I had the sliding floor bolt locks, which held enough to keep them out, but the french doors were open a wee bit after the kicking. The bolts held.
Yes, your life is an open book. For me at the time it was a money issue - window treatments are expensive. But, as I sit here now all my blinds are closed, I have privacy and feel very comfortable.
