Duplexes don't have upstairs neighbors, you're thinking of apartments.
Regardless it'll be fine; arguing with your wife is a generational-specific hobby of baby boomers, like how being in a band is specific to Gen Xers. (That's why husbands who hate their wives is the main joke in all those newspaper comics.)
Luckily, having cheaper housing makes it much safer to get divorced or leave an abusive relationship!

- vonwoodson 3y agoYou've never lived in a place where 100 year-old houses have been converted to duplexes/quadplexes/hexaplexes/OCTOPLEXES. You will definitely end up below someone who can afford to be on top.
- astrange 3y agoI live in California and the laws I'm talking about (AB68+SB9) do not permit that. Or 8-plexes for that matter. Of course, since we're talking about getting rid of zoning here, that should be legal and we should respect people's property rights to build or live in a multi story building if they want to. It'll be fine. Btw, I usually choose to be on the ground floor because it lets you go outside more easily, and one time it came with a dishwasher but the 2nd floor didn't.
- vonwoodson 3y agoEdit: posted on wrong comment. I do say, though, that "property rights" do not guarantee absolute sovereignty. Democracy specifically exists to rob the wealthy land owners the privilege of exerting their will upon their neighbors and fellow citizens. The will of the people is regulation.
