just for a little peek, not so much a glorious spread:
in marin county, terra linda is a neighborhood full of liquid amber trees...every house used to have one! now some of them are gone, but if you are driving around near the kaiser there are still a bunch in all different shades.

what about when your neighbors are obnoxiously noisy, not the neighborhood itself? i live in one of the most notoriously party-centric neighborhoods in the nation and it doesn't bother me at all (my apt is off the street and i am lucky enough to have parking); it's just my neighbors who are loud, slamming doors and pounding around all the time, yelling on their cell phones. they've even tried multiple times to come into my apt sometimes late at night drunk off of their asses, mistaking my apt for theirs, pulling and shaking the door!

it's hard to find housing in major cities these days and difficult to move on a dime. i don't think it is realistic to say that someone should move just because something is noise pollution. you can check out the 'hood every which way before you move in (and if you are sensitive to noise and move near an airport you're an idiot), but you can't allow for disturbances like disrespectful neighbors.
