Sitting here trying to chill on the couch at 10am on a Saturday. Over the back fence is a dog that barks constantly whenever it’s left unattended, and some toddler in a nearby apartment block has been throwing a screaming tantrum for the last 15 minutes, which also happens regularly. How’s the serenity?
Edit: The reference
I’m technically in the suburbs - low/medium density housing - but it’s fairly close to the city and I can walk to what they’d call in the UK the High Street, so I could easily get by without a car. It’s pretty sweet, just a bit noisy at times. I’m also under the flight path for the city’s airport. Swings and roundabouts, I guess.
