Is the alternative that we all rent/buy (?) apartments? That sounds awful to me. I've lived in apartments my entire life and it is not pleasant due to the large amount of people that absolutely fucking suck. I would love to put some space between myself and these assholes. Ideally, I'd like to not really have neighbors at all after my lifetime of experiences.
No
duplexes/triplexes/etc. exist. And single-family housing does exist in mixed zoning areas. An SFH next to a duplex next to an apartment building is common in my city. However, in this case, the "back yard" is probably enough for a small garden and a bbq, but not a large lawn...which is fine, because there are parks in walking distance.
Then city and suburbs aren't really for you, and it sounds like something very rural would suit you, and those around you, better.
I like how the assumption at the end is that I'm somehow an issue for those around me. I never stated that I, in turn, cause problems for the assholes around me. One thing I know about assholes is that they only escalate, so it is best to disengage if possible. But i suppose you're right; people who are obnoxiously loud at all hours, run/stomp around, yell/scream at each other, fight, shoot, allow their animals to urinate/deficate anywhere, urinate/deficate anywhere themselves, have loud ass animals, park vehicles just anywhere, have loud ass vehicles, etc. are probably saints, and I'm just a menace to society.
"if you meet one asshole, you met one asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole, you're the asshole."
We don't know you, but if you dislike everyone you have ever lived near or known enough to not want neighbors then you might be the common thread. Maybe you brought the worst out in people or failed to bring out any good. But who knows, maybe you were just unlucky in the people you have met
That movie quote isn't clever or original, especially out of context. I didn't "meet" these people or even interact with them. We simply existed within the vicinity of each other, and they were people that had no regard or consideration for the other people that live around them. This is very similar to people who blast shitty audio from their phones, walk on the left, take up the entirety of the sidewalk, don't yield for pedestrians, don't respect lines, etc. Assholes do, in fact, exist in many contexts.
bruh, look at you, i'm on the internet and don't want to be this close to you, trolls live in caves, maybe that'll be good for you, but then you might hear the water drip and the crickets chirp
Yes, how terrible of me! I hope you'll recover and find it in your heart to forgive me!
