    I find it interesting that you state that you wouldn’t take the suggestions you made due to potential shared walls. You are right on those points, though.

      Ya, I’ve done my time living in an apartment with shitty sound isolation. It turns out that there was never a truer statement made than, “hell is other people”. And, while I am sure that some apartments exist, somewhere that don’t completely suck, every apartment I have lived in did suck and I’m not going to willingly be in that position again. Ya’ll have fun in your cities, I’ll live out in the sticks, thanks.

        I think the thing is to separate older apartment building with newer apartment complexes. The former tended to be built to a higher standard while the latter is built quickly and on the cheap.

      If we just put some sound insulation between those cardboard walls and floors it’d be fine. I don’t need to know when my neighbor is having sex.
