      I agree an apartment building is nothing but a glorified can.

      And its sucks

      The guy above you, below you or next to you has a sub woofer going? Yeah you have to listen to it.

      Have a home? Not anywhere near the issue.

        Yeah but we’re ok with making sardine cans out of wood now, because who needs sound proofing. It’ll make housing cheaper

      Yes, I refuse to ever live in a can, not being able to simply open my door and go for a walk. Trying to force that on people is cruel.
