It may not be noise causing all these things. It could be tyre dust or fumes or lack of exercise from driving everywhere or anxiety from being hit by a car. It still points a big finger at car culture being bad.
- idunnoman1222 2y agoNot really, probably rich kids have schools that are quieter
- throwaway7ahgb 2y agoProbably? I don't know about that, there are many "rich kids" in manhattan, one of the noisiest places in the US.
- idunnoman1222 2y agoYeah, those ones are probably loopy in particular because the city is polluted
- DangitBobby 2y agoThe article starts with the story of a public school next to a subway line that has measurably lower test scores for children in parts of the school where the noise of the subway is higher. Imagine my surprise when the CTA at the end was about removing car traffic noise! I guess "cities too fucking loud for healthy child development" doesn't exactly match the current cultural zeitgeist. Not particularly surprising to find yet another HN comments section talking about how cars are evil, though.
- throwaway7ahgb 2y agoDid anyone read the article or is this just turning into /r/fuckcars? The first 3 paragraphs are about SUBWAY cars (aka public transportation) being too loud. The article also talks about other forms of transportation being too loud.
