Question What if your Building was Abutted by other Buildings on 3 Sides?

If you lived in a building in which the unit you own is surrounded on 3 sides by neighboring buildings that are totally abutting yours by having the entire length of their exterior walls mounted flush against the entirety of the exterior walls of the sides and rear of your building, how would you feel about those neighboring abutting buildings that totally surround yours?

There are 4 possible scenarios here, all of which have your unit take up the full width of your long and pretty-narrow building:
1. Your unit is located in the rear of the building and was filled with tons of lot-line windows when you first bought it. However, one day, all of the windows were suddenly blocked, leaving you with the only windows opening to the "outside" located around a small light well (also known an an air shaft) facing up-close the new building's windowless exposed brick lot-line wall.
2. Your unit is located in the rear of the building and when you first bought it, it already had the only windows opening to the "outside" located around a small light well (also known an an air shaft) facing up-close the new building's windowless lot-line wall of exposed red clay-fired brick.
3. Your unit is located in the front of the building and was filled with tons of lot-line windows when you first bought it. However, one day, all of the lot-line windows were suddenly blocked, leaving you with only 2 windows that open to the outside, both facing the street.
4. Your unit is located in the front of the building and when you first bought it, it already had the only 2 windows, both of which face the street.

Would those neighboring buildings make you feel comfortable because you feel safe and secure from you feeling like they are shielding, guarding, and protecting your building from the exterior elements? When you are in your unit, would you feel like your unit in combination with the abutting buildings are together cocooning you to make you feel comfortable? Would the view and scene up-close and personal in a small light well of your neighbor's windowless exposed red-brick wall running right up to and forming your light well's outer edge on the shared boundary between the lots give you a feeling of peace, tranquility, and warmth? Or would the very same hemming in make you feel uncomfortable and sad from you feeling trapped in your home? Or is it somewhere in between, mixed feelings, or something else altogether? Also, how would you feel towards your "super-close" neighbors who live immediately on the other side of the pair of flush-abutting walls? Please explain for each of the scenarios. This especially pertains to the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York.
