I'd be surprised. Plenty of people would be horrified at the idea of living in a detached home next to a skyscraper.

That's sort of my point though. It's easy to be "horrified" by things in the abstract. But then you actually visit Bogota, Colombia or Buenos Aires, Argentina and go through these neighborhoods and realize they're actually really nice despite being different to what you're used to.

Would they be equally horrified at living in a skyscraper next to a skyscraper?
