I did feel rather "shut in" (even if I did not spend all that much time at home!) Since then, all my (three) apartments have had a balcony, at least two rooms (three now), and windows on more than one side of the building.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-47948659136502521182014-05-17T20:44:43.190+02:002014-05-17T20:44:43.190+02:00I've never been keen on multi-storey apartment...I've never been keen on multi-storey apartments but the fact that they have balconies does, I suppose, make them a little more liveable in.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-33063644929891657192014-05-07T07:52:31.955+02:002014-05-07T07:52:31.955+02:00I really like the second shot, it's not easy t...I really like the second shot, it's not easy to get an interesting shot of a crane!

I'm not sure about the highrise building (I think they should have kept it a bit lower - so that I didn't have to see it from home!) but otherwise I'm not against the idea of new apartment houses in that area. It's just a bit of a nuisance while the construction is going on - so I'm glad I don't live quite "next door".

The buildings you see in these two photos are condominiums, though. I'm not sure who can afford them! but I suppose many are bought by people who sold a house. The policy just now is to increase the number of apartments close to the city core. So we're likely to see more new highrise buildings changing the skyline in the future.
