Yeah, I said that to someone else...
But with climate change and how long roof lasts, lots of people need vents added or no longer need them.
I believe there's even some with a temp and/or humidity switch these days so it only opens when necessary.
Really tho, what matters is how much attic space we're talking here.
Mine was renovated before I bought my house, and while I can walk down the middle I can't really take a step either side. But I'm abnormally tall. And the last owners used it for a teenagers bedroom. If someone was like 5'8 the space would be a lot more usable.
But doing the bare minimum to make it "livable" drastically inflates the price even if you don't use it.
Long run it's worth it, so it makes sense to plan ahead and when things like this come up to do it as if it was already a living space.
