We can't live in an apartment because it will always have bad insulation. We should all live in single unit housing with... checks the quality of insulation in your average 1970s ranch house oh shit, oh fuck.

Also, gotta say, love to live in a street level neighborhood Cul-de-sac with that one guy revving his motorbike at 3am. Single pane glass, noisy neighbors, and god help you during July 4th or Jan 1st when someone gets ahold of fireworks.

But for some reason, we completely forget about this shit when we talk about apartments. Like the suburbs - particularly the corners near intersections or school yards or big churches or highway on-ramps - aren't routinely noisy af.

    Most of my apartment neighbors are actually really cool, chill people. There's a handful of people who stink, but like... Oh well?? That's living around other humans? You adapt to the shitty ones and get along with the good ones.

    If you run around assuming all your apartment neighbors will forever be annoying, you'll never get to know any that aren't. Same with neighbors in the suburbs. Being around humans can suck sometimes, but if you look you can often find decent people.

    I’ve met more decent wild animals than I have people.

    You say that like it's an insult.

    Awww surely not!

    Ever heard that quote, paraphrasing the start of it:

    You run into a jerk in the morning, you ran into a jerk.

    (Maybe you know the rest) If you give that some thought for the rest of the week (assuming you’re out and about), interested to hear any thoughts on it :)

    Part of the reason I hate people is I put a ton of effort into trying not to be a jerk, stressing myself out with constant worry from monitoring my behavior at all times, but other people don't seem to give anyone else the same courtesy.

    And that doesn't even get into how hard it is for me to relate to almost everyone. I watch weird TV shows, listen to weird music, read weird books, and have weird hobbies. Outside of the weather I don't really have anything to talk to them about, despite their seemingly constant need for interaction.

    The suburbs are noisy as fuck. That’s why I want to live in the middle of nowhere.

    try: Alaska

    you can have trees with people or trees without people, we have train, boats, and airports. Enjoy the tundras full of moss and few people, the largest city in the United States (by area) and the reasonably tall mountains.
