I can relate, but the problem here is that you shouldn't live in an apartment. I never will again, for all the reasons you outlined. It's unreasonable to expect quiet in apartments. People have different schedules, they're different ages, and some are just assholes.
- doublerabbit 2mo agoI rented for six, and the landlords offered me to buy it, I got an amazing deal. It's been awesome for those six but in the last four, city construction and all the rest has come and ruined the noise. The felling of trees near-by really ruined the peace.
- elric 2mo ago> you shouldn't live in an apartment I wish I were rich enough to distance myself from the noise of the riffraff. But with some 8 billion humans on the planet, that seems unsustainable. Building with soundproofing in mind would be a good place to start. Asshole-proofing is trickier. There's nothing unreasonable about expecting people to behave in apartments (or elsewhere). Many (most?) places have laws about noise and nuisance, getting them enforced has not been easy in my experience. Edit: 8+ billion people, apparently. I'm getting old.
- solatic 2mo agoIt is very reasonable to expect quiet in apartments. It is not reasonable to expect that you will never need to confront people to achieve it. If you want to never talk to neighbors, then don't have any. Sadly, this is becoming more and more of a luxury, particularly in areas with economic opportunity.
