Tell me you've never lived above a bar without saying you've never lived above a bar

I live a full 100 meters from a bar but every fucker leaving will scream at full volume as they are leaving. I'm so desensitized from women screaming at night that I could miss a genuine rape outside my front door and not even roll over.

Drunk people find it hilarious to shout and scream at night. It's just drunk people things, if you ever live near a bar in a gentrified and popular area you'll understand

That’s almost as bad as the geniuses that build luxury properties right next to race tracks, then petition to have the race tracks shut down for lowering property values.

Unless the bar somehow snuck up on you?

Bars and churches often do sneak up on neighborhoods.

Churches?

I guess I am used to churches being hundreds of years old.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The old ones are usually not loud either. The loud ones tend to open and close often.

Might be a regional thing, I don't think I've ever seen a new church built in my lifetime. The only churches I see closing down are the ones in small towns that don't have the population to maintain it anymore.

I'm curious, do you see a trend in the denomination of these pop-up churches?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I imagine it's "regional" by the meaning that entire countries have them behaving in a similar way, but it's different from one country to another.

Anyway, I live in a 60 years-old city, so there are no centenary churches here :) yet they are still mostly older than the average for my country. There are entirely pop-up denominations that appear, annoy the hell out of friends and relatives that I have in other cities, then close down and disappear so that nobody remember their names anymore.

Restaurants turn into bars, bars turn into clubs. This can happen in the span of months in some cases.

Also some people may have bought during covid when there were no bars, some others may not be able to afford much else within commuting distance of their work.

I owned one and conveniently had an apartment above it in the past.

With that perspective I tried keeping it not too noisy. Speakers facing in a way to prevent noise pollution to the outside, less bass on everything too. Central speakers also get to be louder while speakers close to the windows are not as loud. It's not ideal but it's much better than being entirely careless.

The customers at least tend to not be noisy unless it's karaoke night. They have some common decency where I live.

I went to an Airbnb in Milano, in which in the middle of it's block was literally a night club. Literally block residents and people who come to party enter and exit the same block door.

However, I didn't hear anything, they soundproofed the hell out of this place, and the culture isn't loud.

This post is more about housemate habits than it is about accurately mapping town volume level by time of day.
