Very interesting! I moved about eight years ago from the ‘city’ to a smaller town right next to the city! So, it’s getting noisier and more city-like here. Even though I moved from a townhouse to a single family 3- bedroom house on a half acre, it’s still not enough land! It’s noisy with traffic, trucks, motorcycles (the WORST!), horns, sirens, car radios blasting loud music, you get the idea. And I’m about two blocks from the trains. I thought it wouldn’t be an issue because it was far enough away but since there a crossing that close, they blow constantly! Sometimes there are seven or eight trains early on a Sunday morning! I’m talking 3am to 6am. Too freaking early to hear loud train whistles! It’s really starting to affect my sleep. I get stuck at the crossing more than not lately, too which is annoying when I have to be somewhere. The cross street about a half-block from my house is the only way over to the ‘city’ so I have to go over the railroad tracks. It’s a trap! Unfortunately, this might force me to move again. I’m alone so don’t have a partner to help with cutting acres of grass/weeds. I hire that done now and it’s very cheap but more land means more expense. I’m considering Europe at the moment just for much reduced cost of living, sane gun laws and friendlier people! Plus, instead of chain grocery store, there are farm markets only steps away from most places. I’m in PA and the quality of life is going down rapidly. Neighbors are not helpful; everyone sticks to themselves and are ‘so busy’! I thought when I moved here that folks would be friendlier, more helpful and they’re just not! Being alone is tough enough without the safety net of a partner. People were more helpful in the city! We all stuck together to shovel out the alleys and streets and parking spaces. Here, no one even offers to help with that even though they all have snow blowers (I do not). So, I don’t know! This was going to be my forever home but I’m re-thinking that. I love the house and yard/gardens. It’s just big enough to keep me active and stimulated but I spent so much $$ on making a backyard space to relax and enjoy the outdoors but I can’t even sit comfortably back there with the road noise.i want to wake up and hear the birds, not the traffic.
Thank you so much for watching :) and thank you for the suggestion to include timestamps for topics… I will be sure to figure out how to do that 😅 have a great night!
Okay, time stamps are in! That's a new thing I just learned :) Thanks again for the suggestion. I'll be sure to add these to all of my videos. Take care!
