I live on a street with about 2 miles of apartments and condos. When I go for a walk at night, everybody's curtains, shades and blinds are closed.
I also drive for Uber and Lyft at night. Nobody's window treatments are open.

I live in Germany, but some people in my street don't even have curtains. It's a bit bizzarre, if you walk by their house in the dark you can see everything that's going on. You can see them cooking in the kitchen or sitting in front of the TV. It's almost like they are putting themselves on display trying to show everyone what a nice home they have.

Some people don't like to feel closed in by curtains. I guess you're supposed be polite and refrain from gawking.

Open windows might be a great idea in the country but not so much in the city. In New York City there are newer apartments where the outer wall is one huge window. You can see the whole room at night because few occupants close their drapes. There are gawkers. One guy I know owns a telescope and uses it to look at his neighbors as well as celestial objects. Some of the objects of his observation own telescopes as well and are probably looking back at him.
