The one thing high density proponents never seem to address is the exposure to NOISE. I am hyper sensitive to noise. I once lived in a condo that fronted a street with heavy traffic and those were the most miserable years of my life. Opening a window only made it worse. I remember one night taking a shower just to get away from the noise and standing there crying. I live in the countryside now, though plenty of the neighborhoods here are really suburbs within forests. I will NEVER voluntarily go back to all that noise.

@markevans8206 I think that is still too noisy for me. I am temporarily living in a townhouse close to the center of this small town. This means I hear the highway, which is only two lanes in each direction and it's not even that close. It's still noisy when I sit on the deck and I hate it.
