You haven't described a problem for the families with children, you've described a problem for others (you) who are using the building in a way it wasn't designed for.
- DANmode 3y agoKids yelling for extended periods of time isn't welcome in any shared living space, no matter how you square it.
- bluGill 3y agoKids yell for extended periods of time. Not all kids, but a large number of them do. If this is a problem it isn't with the kids. Demand better buildings.
- QuercusMax 3y agoPrecisely. Architecture and construction can be improved, but kids are always going to yell. And unless you really believe kids have to live in detached housing, the answer is obvious - fix our environment to keep kids from annoying their neighbors.
- DANmode 3y ago> kids are always going to yell. Your kids, maybe. This isn't a ubiquitous perspective. But, some people don't tell their kids "no" about anything, so... I'll teach mine to mostly yell in big open spaces, while biking, on a playground, during sports.
