Summary: Better building codes would help us all, they need to improve too. They're better to live outside, but our building codes don't make them better to live /inside/. (I mean actual refuge that provides quite private space with silence, clean air (no odd smells/smoking of various types/cooking/baby diaper pails/rotting milk trash cans), and true tranquility.) Bad neighbors can exist anywhere though. The suburbs have streets which might be fine for small sedans but which loud motorcycles or 'MAC' trucks shoved inside of oversized pickups can ruin. It also only takes that /one/ person smoking somewhere even vaguely near-by to ruin the clean air around that house.
