Do You See What I See?

We are loosing the views from the north facing windows of our apartment (except the boys room). We aren't complaining, it's rare enough for an apartment in NYC to get light, let alone have an entire vista to look at. Empty lots don't stay that way in NYC so we knew it was coming, eventually. The new building across the street adds about a floor every three weeks. Today they finished putting on the ceiling of the seventh floor. While we are gone on vacation they will complete the eighth floor and our view will then become a series of big windows just fifty feet away.

In about a year those windows will have people in them and suddenly strangers who we will most likely never talk (and probably shouldn't talk to) will potentially know more about what goes on in our home every day than anyone else, and vice versa. So I am curious as to what you might do if you were in our situation a year from now.

Would you:
A. Get blinds to cover all the windows that face the new unknown neighbors.

B. Go without blinds and make sure you were always appropriately dressed and behaved.

C. Stand naked in front of the window the first day people move into the building, and hope that display convinces THEM to go out and buy window coverings.

D. Get no shades, walk around your house any way you choose and don't give a second thought to the people who may or may not be watching you all day long.

Just so you can make an informed decision, if you stand right at the window and look out, this is how well you could see into the other building (click image for larger size). And none of the windows people can see in or we can see out of are the bedroom windows. Just playroom, kitchen, and family room.

So which decision would you make, and which one do you think we are going to choose?
