Answer 1

Na be too much of a nightmare if the lift was broken and i was drunk.

Answer 2

No chance. I wouldn't live in a flat or apartment by choice if I could ever help it... even a luxury one.

I have a contract-parking space in the city beneath luxury flats... and in the morning when I park up in the basement I can smell everyone getting their breakfast done (bacon and eggs).

Also I'd really really fear someone starting a fire in their flat/apartment... deliberately or by accident. Risks making everyone homeless. Or springing a leak. Or bad neighbours for sound. Also some unscrupulous owners sub-rent their luxury apartments out for hookers and stuff these days.

When my parents divorced my dad wanted me and my mum to live in an inner town block of flats - a real dive with junkies and lift which rarely worked and stunk of piss. Thankfully she remarried someone with a bit of money. All this money shouldn't matter for love is rubbish - your friend is right. Hopefully the lad will aspire to getting a better place.

Answer 3

I personally would, but not too high. Somewhere in the 15th to 20th floors would be my ideal. Any higher than that and my vertigo would kick in, and that's no fun.

Both my mother and a cousin are terrified of being trapped in an apartment that is above ground. My cousin will never ever live or even go to a place that's more than 3 feet above ground, and my mother would seriously prefer to just live UNDERGROUND. These are animalistic responses, and you can't fault them for that--just as you can't fault this woman for not wanting to set foot in a 22nd-floor flat. It just is. And really, if your friend isn't interested in moving, I think she did the right thing by breaking it off. Relationships are difficult as it is, but impossible when one is trying not to pass out or throw up in her mouth because of the height.

Answer 4

Sure, that would be ideal for some in fact. My nan used to live on the top floor of a high rise and it was SO quiet and peaceful up there, no street noise late at night, very little traffic noise and nobody living above her to make noise.

Answer 5

I lived on the 17th floor of a high rise when I was a student...I oved it...I ad spectacular veiws of London...and of all the muggings and things that went on at night!
Once I shut the door I could have been in a penthouse...she's only 20....it;s not as if he is expecting her to raise her kids there....but still...maybe she's already planning for her future and sees no prospects in him.

Answer 6

I used to live in a high rise flat but on the sixth floor. However I knew someone on the 22nd floor and It was great - you really knew when It was windy up there. I wouldn't dump someone for where they live - is your friend scared of heights or snobby?

Answer 7

I'd have no problem living on the 22nd floor. It is high, but I am not afraid of heights, and I would get used to the slight swaying that most tall buildings do. Maybe that girl is really afraid of heights.

Answer 8

I lived many years in a building that was 33 floors it was great, I miss it.

Answer 9

they are hundreds of youngsters residing in intense upward push residences throughout Britain. There does no longer be sufficient residences outfitted to place each and all of the babies on the floor floor. Sorry he's inaccurate.

Answer 10

No i have almost always lived in a big garden that i made
In Africa and now here in Mexico
would not have it any other way

Answer 11

Sounds like the bloke had a lucky escape from your friend there
