There’s always a hypocritical past tweet with these kinda people

Ah yeah I’m very with you on that, I’m aware these exist and I’m a massive advocate. One of the things we should be doing to counter the climate crisis housing-wise is us living in high density ways. To make that much less of a hell for people with sensory issues then these proper noise insulated places are a must.

Edit: It’s also important on a disability rights level. For instance people with severe MCAS (an actually very common but very underdiagnosed condition) can have essentially an allergy to vibrations. So things like power tools being used just in the area around them can literally give them reactions like seizures

Even without cars, for someone like myself they are still loud. It’s a subjective thing. There could be no cars used around my home at all but there could still be a family with loud kids, or someone who regularly blasts music or people using power tools often and so on. That isn’t to say these things are inherently bad or anything, just that for me I’ve dealt with too much aggravating noise in various places. Now I live in a van and just come into cities when I please.

This is a big reason why I decided I couldn’t live in cities anymore. For someone who grew up in a village where it was quiet almost the entire time I feel it’s especially a lot. Never mind the neurodivergence not enjoying it.

I literally shout in my sleep regularly. And laugh a lot too. My partners and friends have had some interesting times from this.
