So beyond "make the schools themselves" quieter, some analysis of "traffic noise where the kids live" vs "non-traffic noise" would be useful here.
There is a lot in the article about negative effects of all sorts of unwanted noise.
But it seems like it would be just as easy to go to "this is why we need well-built schools and well-insulated cars and big parking lots and sprawling low-density housing so the kids can have quiet at home too" as to "get rid of cars" from this.
- ehnto 2y agoWhat non traffic noise? I am struggling to come up with a single thing that could be consistently as loud as a road and actually be likely near a school. Whereas cars are made basically mandatory, so will always be near schools.
- 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.
- ehnto 2y agoI'm focussing on cars because they are the far more likely culprit. Few cities in American even have a metro, so it's the less wide spread issue.
