Neighbour Issues
Where would you like to live most: in a detached house or a flat? There is no secrecy: problems might appear with all types of living. So, let us spot the difference.
If you have chosen a house, you probably will not often deal with your neighbours' arrogance. You will have a wider choice of activities that would not bother Mr Smith on the right or Mrs Brown on the left. You will have an opportunity to stop being patient and express your emotions louder than usual. Not too loud, though. Your children will be free to learn how to play any musical instrument they like—you will not have to bother than anyone's gentle ears would hear their first tries.
But these are the advantages of living separately. What if there is an urgency of calling a doctor or visiting a supermarket? Or you might need a chemist's, and suburbs may have a weak infrastructure.
Now, let us imagine you have chosen a flat. And surprisingly—your neighbours are just a model of kindness! And yes, they have children or do not get insane when they hear someone learning to play the flute. They understand everything and are ready to help. Everything is near—the chemist's, post office, supermarket, kindergarten, school and health centre.
But there is less security in a city or town! And it is you who may turn out to be the bad neighbour! You may lose patience with Mr Smith's or Mrs Brown's activities and call the police at every opportunity.
In the end, choosing a place to live depends right on your preferences. But interacting with other people depends on you yourself.
