Most of those problems could be solved by good noise insulation which is fairly cheap to add during construction.
Terraced houses are common in the UK and are the worst of all worlds: poor noise insulation from neighbours, tiny dark gardens and very low density.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 6y ago> solved by good noise insulation You've obviously never met my neighbors. But noise is just one example; far more annoying when I was in an apartment was someone smoking below my balcony on a hot night when all I wanted was to open the windows. And I suppose you'll tell me that filtration systems could take care of that, which is true, but staying locked in a closed apartment is, as has been recently shown, terrible for your health, physically and emotionally. It's no use, I shall keep my yard and clear, dark skies where you can see the stars, and wildlife.
- bovine3dom 6y agoI don't have an answer for that - I can only say that I had the same problem in a semi-detached house in the UK with neighbours smoking weed in their garden and the smell coming up through our (quite far away) open windows. Your stars sound good, but I don't be able to give up being able to walk everywhere.
