as if drivers aren’t honking at each other all night anyway. I live in the boonies, that was the biggest environment jerker for me that you have zero downtime in the cities, always beeping always noisy

Eh, depends upon the neighborhood. If I heard people honking endlessly from my condo I’d be going out the door looking for the person that needed a foot up their ass.

Not all city streets are very busy. There is some level of always noise (I got planes and helicopters and sirens to mention a few) but it’s not cars aggressively honking at each other 24/7…nobody can sleep through that.

It’s nice to be in the city where there aren’t many cars. Very quiet.

Cities aren’t loud cars are.
