Color me creepy, but I kind of enjoy being able to see into other people's houses at night. It's like peering through a bunch of TV screens watching their lives. Usually the people on the first floor are acutely aware of their visibility, so they keep blinds or curtains or whatever shut tight. This creates a wonderful pastiche of the top halves of walls. Pictures and posters and plants and lamps sitting in their usual arrangements to please their owners.
Can anyone really resist a chance to see what their fellow human beings preoccupy themselves with when they have absolutely nothing to do? Even when it's incredibly boring, they are morbidly fascinating. Maybe I'm just easily amused.
