1. The Mutual Privacy Pact

If I can see into your apartment, you can probably see into mine. We’ll both pretend we don’t notice.

2. Your Routine is Safe With Me

We all have our little rituals — and unless it involves a chainsaw or an emergency, it’s not my business.

3. Mind Your Own, Even If It’s Weird

City people have a sixth sense for ignoring harmless eccentricities.

4. Everyone Has a Front-Row Seat

The skyline is the stage. The audience and the actors? Same people.

5. The Golden Rule of Shades

If you don’t want it seen, close them. If you leave them open, you’re part of the city’s nightly performance.

And that’s the magic of city living — being surrounded by thousands of stories, yet still feeling free to live your own.
