Turns out cities are loud! In NYC, at least, heat pumps are far more quiet than the endless window unit A/C's, or larger traditional A/C's, in my experience. Outdoor noise is less of an issue in the winter in big cities

Oh good lord the pedestrian islands don't have curbs. I hadn't considered that a possibility.

The article linked blames stabilization, but fails to account for many other factors: the almost required 12-15% broker fee on move-in, the year long leases that never go month to month. Moving in NYC is a larger burden on the tenant than m
