   I’m not a fan of carpets because they accumulate dust and dander, but whenever I talk to co-workers from Chicago or the US Northeast, they consider carpet essential. Maybe my view is an artifact of living in #SoCal.

     @lnxw48a1 floors can suck a lot of heat out of a room, it's a pretty essential insulation layer in a lot of circumstances.

     @mike @lnxw48a1 I live in the US midwest and love the wood floor in my apartment, but it's always cold. Anecdotally, I see people in my area taking out carpet more often than putting it in. I think carpet is like wallpaper in that it's going out of style.

     @lnxw48a1 Wall-to-wall carpets combined with wearing outside shoes is absolutely disgusting to me.

     @lnxw48a1 Carpet is warmer in the winter unless you have in-floor heating, but as a Canadian who has both in her house ... I'd still rather just have a wood or tile floor even without in-floor heating.  Carpets have a relatively short life before they need replaced and they get dirty in a lot of ways you could clean if it was wood or tile but not if it was carpet, staining and etc.  Also carpet only really looks good for the first couple years its in the house if you're lucky.
