Agree, except the single family home.
Because the quality of life in US apartment buildings is appalling.
I don't want to hear every step that my upstairs neighbors take. I don't need to know when they go to the restroom in the middle of the night. I don't need my downstairs neighbor ask me not to walk after 10pm.
This is ridiculous. I'll live in a US apartment once the sound insulation issue is resolved (hint to US architects: It was solved by 1930 in the rest of the world).
- houseabsolute 16y agoMaybe you just picked the wrong building? The only noise I hear from my neighbors is when the windows are open and the kids are screaming two doors down. But no insulation is going to fix that problem.
- ora600 16y agoI am actually talking about 4 different buildings in 3 different bay area towns. If there is a secret to picking buildings, obviously I'm not in on it. But - I looked at apartment ranking website, and on every single building there will be some very negative comments about noise levels. So I still suspect a more systematic problem.
