Is that normal?

You mean it's basically trying to use the space between the joists and the flooring material above and the ceiling material below as a "pipe" for the moist air? Lol..
I don't think that's normal, seems like a number of issues that could stem from that.. mold due to moist air being vented right onto wood/drywall/plywood, outside air filling that area, etc.
"Why is this exact spot on the kitchen floor so cold every winter?!"
Why would they NOT vent it if it seems like it's possible/easy?? I've only ever seen something like that when venting outside would have been expensive.
