    Also, you’re right. Here’s the reality though. The absolute worst sounds at the end of a work day are the sounds of other people. Give me a train, traffic, coyotes, anything but the sound of other people. Especially, and this is the sound of one of the rings of Hell, the sounds of other peoples children. It’s like a Scotch brite pad being rubbed across your mental health.

      Well that’s why people choose city living vs suburban vs rural. I live in the mountains because I absolutely do not want to be around that many people even going about my day to day. That said, the noise problem can be mitigated with extra insulation, but then you get into the luxury segment I was talking about.

      It seems like there are a number of solutions out there, but no one cares enough to do anything. So that’s why I live in my sky top island.
