Question on point set topology
Definition of Borel setsA “complementary” topologyFinite vs infinite distinction in Rudin's AnalysisThe set of rationals in $(0,1)$ is not a $G_delta$Limit point of an infinite subset of a compact setIf $U ⊂ mathbb{R}^n$ is open and $B ⊂ U$, then why is it that $B$ relatively open in $U$ if and only if $B$ is open?Question about Theorem 2.24 in Baby RudinShowing that if closed subsets don't intersect then there exists open sets in which they exist that also don't intersectDifference between closure and closed cover of a setIs there an analogue for a compact set using closed sets?

While extremely simple, this example has the unfortunate side effect of also being open, which could further confound the OP who seems to be wondering why the intersection of open sets is not open in general (admittedly, the OP is probably also drawing a false dichotomy between open and closed sets, so I suppose this helps with that)
