    I'd never live in a high-rise of any sort. Too many other people there to accidentally or intentionally set the place on fire.

    I'm with you I get the heebie jeebies in hotels and always request as low level as I can get. I was once in California and a very small earthquake happened at least small by California standards and I was about 12th floor and I felt it and that was enough for me.

    It reminds me of the Veer Towers in Las Vegas. They too seem to defy gravity from certain angles.

    now this is a no way in hell. As a climber I have seen way too many cliff failures.

    Was leaving a meeting on the 10th floor in Oakland California.. I felt really weird, kinda sick, nauseous.. had an old school hard sided brief case and it was standing on the conference table rocking from side to side.. our California host laughed and said something about having little shakers all of the time..

    No thanks..

    But she did recommend a great restaurant in San Fran Chinatown that I have been going to for years..

    That's what I thought but wasn't sure.
