I’m glad you took time out of your day to reassure me. This is by far the cuddliest space

Frankly my comment was more about the fashionable embrace of American serfdom. From a strictly logical and grammatical context it makes sense to use “primary bedroom,” which is neutral and ungendered. Single women make up 58% of unmarried homeowners in the US. Married couples of course make up over 60% of total homeowners, but I’d wager that most married men wouldn’t consider themselves the “master” of the household.
You’re comparing apples to oranges, that use of the word is a completely different definition of the word in that context.
This kind of setup is also attractive to parents with teen kids, who want autonomy and a level of independence. A lot of times people like this will buy a studio in the same building for the maid.
free apartment in a luxury bldg? let me sign up to be a maid
Need I say it? Health care is bad enough, but housing being tied to employment is excellent leverage over the servant class.
Be careful what you wish for.
If you’re doing it for convenience and not necessity it’s not so bad
Nice photo set above: floor plans, street scape view, skyline view from across the park - nice.
I like the blend of contemporary and classic architecture on this new condo: whatever the ‘style’ it is beautifully designed.
The AI Overview commentary on this building mentions a “vertical villiage” design feature. I am not sure what that exactly means; my guess is that the building is loaded with amenities so the shared spaces make the place feel like a “Villiage”. ![]()
