Mulitiple people, both in-person, online, and via e-mail have asked me why I did not want a house with a north facing driveway.
In the winter the house shades the driveway. Snow and ice do not melt fast in the shade. Basically, it is for a very boring and utilitarian purpose. Some may have thought it was some sort of bad luck feng shui thing (I do not believe in it anyway), but it was all about my negative feelings toward snow and ice at the time I wrote my list.
I knew what you were talking about — it’s a cold weather concern.
