Yup. That sounds familiar

No. I live in a city.

The tallest trees around here come to about the top of my window. Pity 
they're too far away to give effective shade.

The building is pretty high. The ground floor (which is a parking area) is 
about 4 m high (a guess, I haven't measured). The floors aren't as high, but 
my ceiling is 2.75 m above the floor (which really made curtains expensive, 
and doesn't help with the temp in winter)
