If someone seeks peace and quiet, then logically they move from the city to the suburbs, right? Yet, today's suburban dwellers willingly compete in the "noisiest neighbor" competition. Not by having loud, raucous parties, but simply by caring for their ridiculous lawns and driveways. The status symbols of choice have become the boisterous lawn machines, snow blowers and the worst contender of all--the leaf blower.
I'm not sure if these crazy machines prove you are well off financially or simply that you are too out of shape to actually rake or shovel.
So where's a quiet-seeking soul to live? Well then you move to the country.
Ha, ha. The rural countryside is sprouting it's own set of noisy toys. Especially in Alaska --noisy recreation is where it is at. TV ads constantly seduce folks to "tear it up" outside, either in their ATV or snowmobile. It's as if everyone has developed the mentality of a five year old boy with their first Tonka truck. Heaven forbid someone actually practices mobility by using their feet--that might lead to weight loss and fitness. And what would we do without all that noise?? Think?
