This blog is called Greater Greater Washington. I'd pose that the majority of those living in Greater Washington do not live stacked on top of each other.

In a building you refer to a high rise, especially a unit on one of the higher floors, the temperature can get to 85 degrees and higher.

I'll take 85 that if it's 104 outside ;-)

My point was that I don't really see a difference between living in a 7 or 8 story building (what's wrong with calling that a high rise, what else would you call it?) or a town house or a McMansion without power. It will get hot, or cold, or just right, depending on the season.

I can see a difference between living in a dense area and a less dense suburb. Quite frankly, with a power outage, or any natural disaster, you'd probably be better of in the dense area. Just because you won't have to walk forever to get somewhere.

@ AWalker:If you want to focus on other matters, start your own blog.

I'm not sure that's fair. In a good online community, it's fair to ask for more information. The writers of GGW can then write about it, or not.

@ Jazzy:people in a house can go to the basement to get a bit cooler, or rooms more interior to the house.

The higher you are, the more change there is you'll get some wind if you can open your windows.
