I like to be able to ear any siren around me, to be honest. They're the way they are for a reason.

- renewiltord 2y agoThis is kind of why I like living near highways and train tracks. Most people live in suburbs and they don’t hear the noise of the city. They just miss out on so much environment. Sadly, my wife hates this (she is not in tune with her environment) and so we moved from a place where there were crazy people screaming to a place which is relatively quiet. Sometimes I’m at home and there aren’t any sirens or bells or people screaming and I just think about how out of touch we are with the environment. This has spread to everyone. Paul Graham has lost his connection to the environment and instead writes about silence. What a fool! If only he was more in touch with his environment.

- rootusrootus 2y agoAnecdotally, I heard way more leaf blowers while living in the city than in the suburbs. Lots of times in the suburbs people just leave them on the ground. But it gets to be a gross mess pretty fast in an urban environment so they are cleaned up relentlessly through the fall.
