Well, I'm not going to invest in anything right now, but thanks for the link. Much appreciated.

Taking into account the devastating floods that have destroyed parts of Australia, Brazil and Sri Lanka this year, I would say this is a cause for worry. I live in river facing apartment on a low floor and much as I love the view of the river I think its going to cause a problem in the years to come. What sort of views do you get from your apartments?

I only have a back view. Quite depressing actually. I get to see the back of other apartments. So during the summer I can see clothes being left on the fire escape to dry.

My view is of another building, sadly. But, If I walk down to the front awning of my building, then I can see the Hudson . . so, there's that.

@JenMac: Well, at least you have something to look at when you leave your building.
