I've been in sound-proofed condo's before, and it's dramatically better. But it doesn't solve all the problems stemming from having dozens of families down the hall.
Some issues include:
- garbage in the hallway
- AirBnB renting to some dodgy characters who then roam the hallways, vomit in the elevator, and worse
- People taking my parking spot
- Smell of cigarette smoke
All of the above in a fancy building in a nice area.
The density allows for some incredible things in the neighbourhood, which is a good tradeoff though. I like having a concierge to receive packages and having good restaurants and other things around.
I just like that there are all these different options. None of them are - or have to be - the Ultimate Housing Answer.

My building solves this by banning rentals shorter than 3 months and aggressively tracking and fining idiots who leave rubbish around or park in the wrong spot.
