Article: Living at the Signiel is uncomfortable? Residents name 5 cons
Source: Asia Economy via Nate
(1) lack of privacy (2) windows don’t open (3) no ondol flooring (4) slow elevators requiring multiple transfers (5) lack of connection to nature
1. [+567, -15] I suppose it’s like living life trapped in a beautiful bird cage
2. [+439, -36] I read a study that said people experience more stress the farther they are from nature. Living closer to the ground aids in a longer life.
3. [+399, -16] That’s why the truly rich like the diamond spoons live in houses near the forests, like in Pyeongchang-dong or Hannam-dong. All of the expensive hotels are located near the forests as well. Can’t ignore geomancy when it comes to these things.
4. [+63, -2] Damn, how do you live where you can’t even open any windows
5. [+47, -0] The list doesn’t sound too bad to me other than not being able to air out your house or feel a natural breeze…
6. [+47, -2] Sounds suffocating. No open windows, probably a terrible heating system. It’s a great place to show off but I don’t think I’d personally pay so much to live there.
7. [+42, -2] How can you live without open windows? As someone who loves big windows and leaving them open every season to smell the air and listen to the rain, I don’t think I’d spend that kind of money to live there
8. [+41, -3] Not jealous of them at all. My personal dream is an American-style house with a lawn, and spaced decently away from other neighbors.
9. [+39, -0] Everything else is fine but the windows part, I couldn’t stand not opening windows
10. [+32, -2] There’s also a rule that any food deliveries after 10 p.m. have to be picked up in the lobby yourself
11. [+30, -0] With such a great view, it’d be frustrating not to be able to open any windows. It’d be like having to enjoy the view through a large TV screen. No point.
12. [+23, -0] Just further proves that apartments like these are glorified hotels for temporary stays and not for actual living
13. [+23, -0] Wow, can’t open windows ă…śă…ś airing out your home is so important
14. [+18, -3] “I have to take three elevators to get to the lobby so I’m often late to my appointments” I suppose anyone who can afford to live there in the first place can afford to be late to most things…
15. [+14, -0] The YouTuber who listed all those cons is actually the best friend of Hwang Hana ^^ ă…‹ă…‹ă…‹ă…‹ă…‹ă…‹
