&quot;&gt; A more silent neighborhood...&quot;<p>I haven&#x27;t figured out if I changed or my neighbor&#x27;s for loudness?<p>In my neighborhood, it seems like when ever the economy heats up, like in the Bay Area; residents order more junk from Amazon, trim everything, use blowers for just the sake of irritation, hire handymen who take a whole summer to put in a 10 X 20 deck, and are just irritating loud?<p>I&#x27;d rather have Metal Heads playing at level 11 than these hypocritical earthy home owners.  I&#x27;m actually looking forward to a slight drop in the local economy.  It&#x27;s almost like they need a project, a package to be delivered daily--after all they would have to talk to each other without that daily distraction?<p>(I miss the Internet of pre 2008.  Why?  You could find more information for free.)
