PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THIS.  ANYONE LIVING IN ANY TYPE OF BUILDING THAT HAS A SLIDING GLASS DOOR. NO MATTER WHAT FLOOR!!!!!!!!!  I EXPERIENCED A TERRIBLE THING A FEW YEARS AGO AND HOPE YOU BENEFIT FROM IT.  I LIVED ON A 3RD FLOOR APT. BUILDING AND FELT SO SAFE BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS SO EASY TO GET IN A HOME FROM THE FIRST FLOOR.  WELL IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO GET INTO A 3RD FLOOR EITHER.  I AWOKE TO A BLACK MAN STANDING IN THE DOORWAY OF MY 3RD FLOOR BALCONY WINDOW.  I DIDN'T HAVE EVEN ONE SECOND TO DO ANYTHING BUT SCREAM MY HEAD OFF!!  MY 2 YOUNG BOYS AND I HAD FALLEN ASLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM AND I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT TO LOCK MY BALCONY, I LIVED 3 FLOORS UP.  THIS VERY HIGH MAN CLIMBED UP THE LATTICE ON THE SIDE OF THE BALCONY AND CAME INTO MY APARTMENT AND TRIED TO RAPE ME, STOLE MY VIDEO CAMERA AND THEN BELIEVE IT OR NOT ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS WATCHING A TV SHOW AND SAW THAT THIS SAME MAN HAD BEEN DOING THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND USUALLY RAPED THE WOMAN!!!  HE LIKED IT WHEN I FOUGHT BACK, SO I DIDN'T FOR A MOMENT, THINKING THAT THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED AND I WAS GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO NOT GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED. HE DROPED ME TO THE FLOOR AND WENT ON LOOKING AROUND FOR THINGS TO TAKE. HE WAS ARRESTED DUE TO THE REPORTS THAT THE OTHER WOMAN GAVE THE POLICE.  DON'T BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY FEELING SAFE BECAUSE YOU ARE HIGHER UP ON THE 3RD FLOOR 'OR HIGHER'.

Ah! This one is very easy! :) \n\nThe PROS are:\n\nMorning: Refreshing and easy to stay up all day. (why, I don't know)\n\nYou smell good all day :)\n\n\nNight: You seem to sleep better feeling warm and cozy (?)\n\nThe CONS Are:\n\nMorning: If you have to go to school or work or something else, you might be late for drying your hair or taking too long in the shower, or drying off.\n\n\nNight:\n\nTo me, sleeping with a wet head is just plain crazy!\n\nWhatever body oils and sweat or dirt was from you on your sheets and blankets, you will be putting them back on you!\n\nUck!\n\nMe personally, I like taking morning showers.

Northside is cool - parking is sometimes an issue so make sure your place has reserved parking, preferably covered and secure. Also, it sometimes gets noisy from the streets so you want an off-street facing window/view.\n\nAfter you look at a place, drive around a few blocks. Is there a coffee house or two? Laundromat, or one in the apt. bldg.? Grocery store?\n\nNorthside is cool - I hope you have a great time.

Once you get the building, you can usually get away with it.  It's a great place to play your music LOUD & work ALL NIGHT if you want to!  Just to be on the safe side, you should call your local building code department & ask them.

1) I don't like sharing 300 square feet of space with 3 other people.\n\n2) Why should I pay to do that when I can pay the same amount and have my own rented apartment?\n\n3) No parking for dormers.\n\n4) I work.\n\n5) Where do you live when the school year is on summer break (assuming you don't have parents)?\n\n6) Nothing to do on-campus (that interests me at least).\n\n7) Living on your own is best for people with more independent personalities.\n\n8) Paying rent on time builds your credit worthiness.\n\n9) You meet more diverse people off-campus than on-campus.

Depends on your situation and the available of housing.  Sometimes going back home is the best choice since you can save money and be able to afford to live in a "nicer" place.

Any stressor can make fibromyalgia pain worse, so yes - dampness and those terrible floors are going to cause problems for you!\n\nFibromyalgia is a neurological disorder of hypersensitivity. We perceive EVERYTHING more strongly than we should, on every level. So the tiniest things build up to be big deals, and big things can become crushing problems.\n\nI was diagnosed in 1993, and my little girl (now 16) was diagnosed in 1999. What I've found most effective is to take control of absolutely everything I can in our environment, in order to let our bodies build up better reserves to deal with the stressors we can't control.\n\nOf course, "environment" means everything from the air we breathe to the people we interact with. The place to start is at home, and you've already realized that the floors in your home are part of the problem!\n\nIs there any chance of moving? You've been there for a year, so maybe your lease is up or about to renew?\n\nIf not, perhaps you could put down carpets with lots of padding? That's going to increase your allergy load if you have allergy problems, but you have to weigh which gives you more trouble and make a decision based on that. \n\nIf you can't afford to professionally recarpet the place, don't worry - join your local Freecycle list(s) (see http://freecycle.org/ . I see people giving away gently used carpet and rugs all the time! If you're not too picky about making the whole apartment match, you can at least improve the impact of the floors on your body.\n\nI could (and have, elsewhere) go on and on and on about environmental control, but I don't want to bore you :-) I really hope that you're able to get some relief. Let me know how you're doing!

According to the situation that you described,the particular tower in not affecting you.You live on the first floor while the tower is on the 4th floor,its far above you.It may have affected your health if you were on the same floor or living at the same height to that of the tower in an other building.My house is surrounded by 4 telecommunication towers.We have been told that it does not affect our health.So,Don't be worried about it.See healthy,talk healthy,hear healthy and do healthy,YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HEALTHY.

You are so lucky! This is going to be such a great adventure for you. Where you choose to live will depend upon your financial situation...there are some wonderful neighborhoods that are expensive, like Pacific Heights. The Mission District has some nice places to live but is less costly. Wherever you locate, you'll be able to get around with ease on the city bus systems and you will probably have the experience of your life.

If the landlord does not agree to give you time to inspect, then most likely there are some things that might not be working (such as the stove or laundry equipment). The bottom floor is better if you don't like climbing stairs or taking an elevator every time you come and go from the apartment. Careful and don't get taken!

Buy.  Some people will say it's better to rent if you are staying only for a short time.  Well, let me tell you, you will fall in love with the city and will never want to leave, so you might as well buy now.

You could start having respiratory problems most definitely. If it is still toxic enough, you could have certain brain cells ate up causing imbalances, but that's not very likely. You really need to remove the carpeting, replace the walls if possible, or if there were any curtains there or furniture that was there before you moved in definitely get rid of them. When we make a meth lab bust, these things are required to be done by the landlord before anyone moves in. I hope this helps you.

The floors of the 2nd floor and the 6th floor.\n\nEach story is 12 feet tall.  The floors of each floor of the building are separated by 12 feet.  A distance of 24 feet from the fourth floor means you go two floors up and two floors down.
