Reply To: Petition to ADHD housing (sound proof) USA

Do you really think it’s a good idea to require other people to pay our housing bills? I don’t think any amount of “greater good” can justify my participation in legislation that makes others my slave by paying for my living situation.

There are many people without ADD who feel similarly about noise; simply find a housing community with a noise ordinance. Old people, young people, and everyone in between hate noise. But for those who hate it most, these communities do exist and they are not difficult to find. I recommend trying city-data.com and posting on the forums, or looking to see how often people are receiving citations for noise ordinances.

In general if you want to avoid these obnoxious noises your options are to live in the country, or find a quiet neighborhood in your city, or a neighborhood/town with a strictly enforced noise ordinance. You can always soundproof your own living space, but that would be far less economically feasible as simply moving away from the source of the noise.

The other benefit of moving to a quiet area is you don’t need to be inside your soundproofed dwelling to avoid the noise, as it’s also quiet outside.
