I'd have no problem living in dense housing if codes mandated GOOD noise insulation. So many apartment walls seem to be made out of cardboard, it's ridiculous.

Not just noise insulation, but fire protection too. I lived in older apartments that were made of concrete. They were generally great. Some occasional noise from hard shoes the floor above, but that was about it. A new apartment building in the area had a fire and it tore through a bunch of the units.

The big issue for me would be not being able to do a bunch of my hobbies - garden, woodworking, beekeeping, etc.
