Once I actually did live downtown.This was many years ago. I wanted to live near the action too, but the bad thing that the place was tiny! It was pretty cramped. I usually did not mind that much, because I was just so happy to be in the middle of the city. Of course the weather here can sometimes be all over the place ,and you would have thought that because my unit was so cramped, with teeny windows and low ceilings and the whole nine yards, that when I would want to heat or cool the place, it would happen in a jif. Well that was true. In the summer I would turn on the air conditioning, and in the winter, the heater, and within minutes I would be perfectly, comfortably warm or cool. Yet as I found out, that actually has risks too. The thing was, the HVAC system in that building was not a perfect match for all the sizes of living units and heat or cold traps that always parts of a building are going to have. In the case of my unit, it would heat up so fast that it would then turn itself off before the heating had a chance to add any moisture back into the air at mine, and my place would be very dry in the winter as a result. So I got my own small space heater and also a dehumidifier. By doing this it gave me the perfect fix for when it wasn’t that cold. Or when it did get really cold I could just blast the central heating.
