Andi Osho's Life Blog: Noisy Neighbours - The Horror.
http://andiosho.blogspot.com/2015/07/noisy-neighbours-horror.html
A blog on life by writer and performer, Andi Osho. Sunday, 5 July 2015. Noisy Neighbours - The Horror. When I lived in East London my neighbour had a drain that gurgled loudly every time they flushed the toilet. It sounded like an alien creature choking on its prey. It became my ungodly morning alarm clock. I also lived behind a bread factory and every time there was a flour delivery the drivers would bang the containers to get the flour out. Why? Because Britain needs toast, people. Then one day, I thou...

Urban kchoze: How modern zoning affects land value and incentivizes sprawl
http://urbankchoze.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-modern-zoning-affects-land-value.html
Just a blog about urban and transport issues. It started as an English translation of my French-language blog "kchoze urbaine", though now I'm primarily writing in English to reach a wider audience. Why the name? Chose urbaine" in French means literally "urban thing". Why "kchoze" instead of "chose"? Because, as says Linkara, poor literacy is kewl. I'm a traffic engineer (the irony! From Québec, I have no urbanist formation, this is only my musings and my opinions. Saturday, June 6, 2015. First, let's us...

Loving Life: My Noisy Neighbours Responded. Sort of.
http://lucygransbury.blogspot.com/2015/03/my-noisy-neighbours-responded-sort-of.html
Blogs are like Tequila. They should be taken with a pinch of salt. Sunday, March 15, 2015. My Noisy Neighbours Responded. Sort of. So this is what happened. Last Saturday, I wrote a long letter to my neighbours. Asking them to turn their funking music down occasionally so I could get some sleep. I put it on the Internet, because when a tree falls in the woods and no one's there to film it for YouTube, it didn't really happen, right? The response from the Internet was next level. More on that later. B) Pa...

who am I: Neighbors & noise
http://d-oracle.blogspot.com/2015/01/neighbors-noise.html
The way of a projector. Thursday, January 22, 2015. So, there I was at my new place. High ceilings and enough space should provide me the comfort of a deep sleep, no disturbing energy or aura's around. And the neighborhood was calm. No busses, planes or trains. Of course, I didn't know about the bad soundproofing of the house and the noise my neighbors could make. I don't know what happened. but at 7:00 somebody was talking into my ear! Next night. Sunday morning! 8:00 What a disaster! Waiting. Waiti...
