The lack of curiosity or inquiries prior to moving in always surprises me. Living in an apartment building is an inherently communal affair and folks seem to be fairly casual about it.

@Rebecca_South - Yes to both. No shoes indoors and the dogs paws are cleaned.

Ditto. Pure love.

My wife and I are in this situation now. We have very different tastes and we live in an open space that I designed and fully furnished before I met her.

This is one of the worst "suggestions" I've seen on any of the Apartment Therapy sites.

Complete b.s.

You do not need venting. You can get a condensing dryer. They're more expensive but they work well. Also, they tend to be european machines which means they don't wreck your clothes.

You do need the power and water supply lines however.

Okay. The local honey does not affect seasonal allergies.

I love the reactions and "beliefs" of some of the above posters. Its like... "I don't believe in gravity because I can jump."

Is it superior to corn syrup? Yes.
Is it more economically sustainable vis a vis supporting your local economy? Yes.
