The 'peace and quiet' of suburbs is only assuming that you get lucky. Much like any place, if you have a horrible neighbor they can and will make your life hell

The 'peace and quiet' of suburbs is only assuming that you get lucky. Much like any place, if you have a horrible neighbor they can and will make your life hell, but in the suburbs you're stuck.
As someone that lived in the suburbs as a kid I hope to never go back. Being in the city proper and having easy access to everything and nature within a bus / bicycle ride away is far better than living in the burbs and everything is 5-10 miles away. It's even worse if you're a kid, because I frequently had to wake up at 6AM for school, take a bus at 6:45 and get to school by 8AM. That was partly why I did so horribly in highschool.
- badpun 3y agoYour chances at peace and quiet are much much better in the suburbs though, where there's probably less than 5-8 families which could disturb it, whereas my apartment buildings alone has 25 families, and the neighboring buildings (definitely within earshot) have dozens if not hundreds more. All this density also translates into much more car traffic outside my window, much more dog barking (when people walk their dogs), much more children making a racket when playing etc.
