And latin america, don't forget that. This comment is literally the point I was trying to make, thank you very much, I couldn't ask for a more typical american answer. If you want to live in a city, and not pay sky high rent, these are going to be some small issues you will have to work with. I say small, because the alternative is not having housing, or paying half of your salary in rent/mortgage. The bass is solved, have the HOA or condo board apply fines for loud noises, which grow exponentially with each infraction. Lack of your own yard? Go to a park, I lived in Vancouver in an apartment, and I had a ton of parks nearby, same in other cities I've lived in. Having a house in a city is luxury, not a need, a home is a need, but that can be an apartment.
