These remind me of the post-1906 earthquake shacks. Better built attached housing would likely let people live better at a similar, if they could manage to agree on reasonable rules about living just a bit closer.

Lol you’re really an idiot and I rarely say that. You lived in cheaply constructed places whether you want to admit it or not. The fact that this makes you feel insecure is a you thing. Have a block for fucks sake and get some therapy.

I did dude! I was poor! That's the whole point you ignorantly stomped on. They were cheap because they were shitty andi could afford the rent!

You're here telling poor people to find thicker walls like they can just go to the thick wall thrift store and change their rental apartment? Ridiculous person.

How did you become so insufferable? Is it something you practiced or are you naturally difficult to get along with?

If you like. Dude got all offended that I said that the places he lived in were cheaply built and that's why noise was a problem. Not sure why this has everyone so bothered. But, going to preemptively give you a block due to needless hostility.
