I've
lived in my downtown loft for nearly 11 years, and in the past
couple years development has made privacy a bit difficult. Years
ago, the buildings across the street were occupied by a box printer
specializing in Healthy Choice containers by the boxcar. The
building directly across the street didn't have windows facing
my unit so I had plenty of privacy.
Today, that buildling is a busy office with new windows
and employees who think they need to be at work by 6 a.m. and
not leave until 10 p.m. Bad deal for them, as I see it, and that
means a bad deal for me unless I want them watching my home life.
(Ask for my thoughts on The Truman Show sometime.)
Now, at least during daylight hours, I have my privacy back.
I installed bus-wrap style screen in my windows so I don't give
up light or a view like I would with blinds. Before or after
daylight is still another matter, but I'll get something worked
out.
