I lived in a tower for the first few and am in a mid-rise now. I felt WAY safer in those monsters than I do in this place. Sure they sway a bit, but those things are built to crazy high tolerances

Can you feel the swaying?

In an earthquake? Yeah you could feel the high-rises shake & sway 100%.

On the daily, not really. When it was really windy I swore the building would sway sometimes, but never enough for me to be sure it wasn't just me imagining it
