This is kind of a dumb article, I grew up on the Upper East Side in the 80s/90s and there was certainly plenty of construction noise.
Car alarms were way more of a nuisance back then as well...Darrell Issa's voice booming "please step away from the car" every 15 minutes from some dickhead's souped-up and window-tinted Lexus.
Better title for this article would be, "In Times of Change and Uncertainty, New Yorkers Still Really Good at Complaining About Everything".
- zjaffee 8y agoThis is exactly it. I grew up there as well and New York has always been a loud place, it's a fundamental part of the historic character of the city. People have always been complaining about the noise and scaffolding from construction. The culture of the city deeply involves complaining about/yelling at everything that gets in your way.
