Reply to comment by Miringanes in Recessed Lighting by smokeymacncheese

That's fair and does make sense. Tbh I just assumed it was a cost saving measure and also increases the time of building wiring every apartment with overhead lighting. And since there is no regulation saying you need to do it and most people are happy without they never bothered.

I also found it weird that in the bathrooms there's not a drain in the middle of the room in case water over flows (other than the drain in the tub/shower)

The floor drain in a bathroom is more of a commercial thing than residential thing and there is no code requiring it AFAIK.

A lot of buildings do actually have a light fixture in the living room, just not recessed, there’s typically nothing in the bedrooms though.
