No air movement in/out of the house is supposedly not healthy. Air doesn't change over because the house is not breathing. There are a lot of recommendations for spray foam homes to incorporate some kind of air exchanger into the system. Supposed to pull in 5% to 10% fresh air from outside while the AC is running. Something to this effect.

Tight houses don't breathe which can lead to moisture issues. Lots of opinions on whether or not this is truly a problem...

Those were his words, not mine I don't know much about insulation. Apparently if a house is too tight it can affect air quality inside. He said that it can restrict fresh air from the outside from coming in if your house is too "tight". He got tired of having to run his bathroom vents or kitchen hood while he was at work.

Can spray foam make my house too tight?
