The weather is quite nice right now, and after sleeping with the windows open last night, I decided to reflect on the pluses and minuses of living courtyard-side on the sixth floor in my box-shaped apartment building.
Benefits:
a. Hidden from direct sunlight, resulting in cooler natural temperature (and lower electric
bill) during heated times.
b. Secluded from street noises (though the "rice cakes!" salesman's voice is still heard at 3am).
c. Situated above five floors; during the wintertime, heat from the lower floors rises, resulting
in warmer default temperature (and lower electric bill) during chilled times.
d. Hidden from street light.
Bummers:
a. Hidden from direct sunlight, resulting in vitamin D deficiency and moody mood within
apartment confines.
b. View of cream-colored walls and apartment windows across the gap.
c. During days of nice weather, fresh air polluted by cigarette smoke rising from smokers
below.
d. During nights of nice weather, quiet air polluted by noisy drunks and noisy lovers (last night
was ridiculous).
