These remind me of the post-1906 earthquake shacks. Better built attached housing would likely let people live better at a similar, if they could manage to agree on reasonable rules about living just a bit closer.

    lol funny thing to go on the offense over

    Find yourself a 100 year old building. They were made to heat and cool before refrigeration was discovered and are far more comfortable. All the best stuff was put up before 1935.

      Cool story, “just move” is a privileged statement.

        Did I tell you to? No. That was in your head. I get that this is all about your own insecurity. You really are a toxic little booger aren’t you?

          You opened up saying I lived somewhere cheap, an insult. Anyone being toxic here is the one passing sweeping advice for lots of folks who can’t afford to move. You specifically said “find yourself a” which yes, means telling someone to change buildings.

          Why would I care about the construction of your magic building? Why’d you feel the need to educate me, without considering the availability of buildings in my area, even disregarding price issues?

          Did you think I chose a building with thin walls, or couldn’t understand how a thick wall can block sound?

            Lol you’re really an idiot and I rarely say that. You lived in cheaply constructed places whether you want to admit it or not. The fact that this makes you feel insecure is a you thing. Have a block for fucks sake and get some therapy.

              I did dude! I was poor! That’s the whole point you ignorantly stomped on. They were cheap because they were shitty andi could afford the rent!

              You’re here telling poor people to find thicker walls like they can just go to the thick wall thrift store and change their rental apartment? Ridiculous person.

              How did you become so insufferable? Is it something you practiced or are you naturally difficult to get along with?

                If you like. Dude got all offended that I said that the places he lived in were cheaply built and that’s why noise was a problem. Not sure why this has everyone so bothered. But, going to preemptively give you a block due to needless hostility.

      Approximately 2% of the buildings in the city where I grew up were built before 1922. You can’t expect everyone in a city to be able to fit into 2% of its buildings, even if you convert all the non-residential buildings in that age range into residential buildings. Hardly anybody could be bothered to live out here before air conditioning was available so the whole region is new construction.

        K. Seems you’ve decided we shouldn’t invest into better infrastructure for some reason.
