I had an apartment and then a new neighbor moved in next door. She put her dog in a cage that was in her bedroom closet. That bedroom closet was on the wall opposite my headboard side of my bed. Of course, when she went to work that dog would bark all day. I attempted to complain to the apartment manager but guess what happened? Nothing happened because that apartment manager also had a dog that she put in a cage and kept in her apartment while she was away.
In a different apartment I was on the ground floor. There was a lady above me who would let her dog do its business on her concrete patio which was above mine and then she would sweep it over the edge until my patio below looked like a minefield of dog turds.
Dogs need yards and should not be locked up in a cage or in an apartment nor should their barking invade the space of others.
If you own a dog, live in an apartment, and the noise from that dog’s barking is inside the apartments of your neighbors then you are a shitty inconsiderate person!
Meanwhile on lemmy : “let’s have more apartment complexes and high density buildings built”.
Thanks. I’ll pass.
In my part of the world we build apartments with actual soundproofing. Using that technology, you don’t hear your neighbours at all.
Would love to see developers here do that, but I have as much faith in that they will do that as I do in believing that pigs will grow wings and fly at Mach 5.
Seems like something that could actually be worthwhile to put into the zoning codes, instead of complete inanity like R1, absolutely huge minimum lot sizes, absurd setbacks and minimum parking requirements.
Honestly I get the environmental aspect of high density cities but yeah fuck living that close to other people
I feel your missing a lot of buance there. I mean that doesn’t mean everyone has to live in apartments. The point is that we need a shit ton of housing in the US, and the fastest way to make them is with spartments, especially in large cities where public transit works well with high density housing.
You don’t want to live in an apartment? Don’t. But at least the people who don’t have many options due to finances, or people who are comfortable living in apartments have that option. This takes the purchasing pressure off of larger homes, further from the city, so those homes also don’t cost as much.
Won’t argue with that.
I’ve just seen to many posts of people literally saying "don’t build single family homes, only build high density ".
No, for the reason you stated, single family homes are cool,
adventure adventure trip placebut at the moment, yeah we need higher density homes built.Not sure what you mean by “cool adventure adventure trip place”.
Lol idk how I didn’t notice adding that unnecessary text. Fixed
Lemmy is full of fucking idiots who dont realise that they are just the inverse of NIMBY assholes.
“Fuck literally everyone who doesnt have my set of problems! REAL OR IMAGINED!”
We can have that and make the death penalty available for a wider audience.
I’m sorry I’m not following your logic
