I disagree with this. I live in this area and haven’t slept well since I moved here. Traffic sounds are awful from Howe, Chapel, and Edgewood, kids randomly walk down the street yelling or chanting or whatever, people play their music cranked all the way up, there are soooo many sirens plus that stupid beer bus thing. Beyond noise, the light pollution is terrible, and I and friends who live in two other buildings on this block have put in more heat tickets than I knew was possible this winter. I’ve had packages stolen, the neighborhood is filled with trash to the point where I go around with a trash bag to try to pick it up, and my spouse got punched by a random man at 8am on a Sunday morning while walking our dog. If you’re going to be using the laundromat, expect to pay $8 a load, as well. 0/10, we are moving to the other side of town this summer. Maybe some buildings are better, but I don’t know anyone who likes living on these blocks.
