To own a penthouse or a villa in the city suburb is one of the most common dreams of middle-class people. It is comfortable and prestigios, and moreover expensive that shows others how rich the owners are. Taking into consideration the pollution of the cities, it is a big enigma why people want to live on the last floor of a multy-storied block of flats. I agree there is a great view from the penthouse’s windows and it’s big enought to have a pool there. It gives you a fake sense of controlling your life and everyone around you. However, how to be with those living on the last floor in an seismological area like in Japan? I guess it’s just a matter of choice where ones should live. However, I would prefer having a house in a village close to the city. It’s healthier, much healthier than living in the city even if it is a VIP area.
