This is fair criticism. Supply-hoarding and anti-construction hysteria burn the wick at both ends. NIMBY (Not-In-My-Backyard)-ism is complex. For me, apartment construction is not sensory-isolated enough. 20% more construction money should be spent on: +Double-studded walls +Double drywall layers with green glue between +Solid core doors +Mass loaded vinyl between floors +Triple-pane-windows This would massively reduce sound transmission. Terrible, penny-pinching buildings are often why I don’t want to be around other people more than the actual people. There are also many adults aged 18-54 who like peace and quiet, so they’d mix fine with 55+ housing. NIMBY-ism and construction aversion can be reduced by— +Better sorting of the population by high-density residential preference +Better high-density building design People with vocal dogs, children and loud party hosting desires don’t HAVE to mix with seniors and sensitive adults. Sensory segregation is GREAT public policy.

Shoddily constructed housing is beyond evil. Anyone who purposely builds thin walled, acoustically ignorant apartment complexes deserves a fate similar to the defendants in the Nuremberg trials.

Oh shit Tay is a building science enjoyer? Staggered stud walls with a 2x6 plate would meet the desires and sound reduction goals.

I would love an isolation bubble. Building in this way is better for the environment too with regards to heat loss etc.
