This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Say what? They sit on 1 sq. meter slabs. Are you thinking HVAC units are the size of RVs?!

They also need clearance, they're supposed to have like 15' free above them and a couple feet on each side

Ah yes, let me put a 1 sq. meter concrete slab on my French balcony.

Ok and where are you gonna put 20 of those next to an apartment building

This doesn't look like an apartment building.

And the apartments near me have them just behind the complex, usually under the overhang from the roof. If you have a balcony or whatever, it'll be just below/next to that. Most apartments are only 2-3 floors anyway, and there's plenty of horizontal space to fit one per unit, or ideally you just include HVAC into the rent so you don't need as many units. The apartment I lived in had trees next to it, so they stuck them between the trees and the complex.
