Why is sound-proofing apartments not a standard? I used to be able to hear my neighbor climaxing weekly when I was living at home. It's not hot.

We build stuff as cheap as possible in this country. All it has to do is last longer than the litigation and its a win. Moving from 2x4 to 2x6 and proper interunit fireproffing solves a lot of the noise issues. And the place is stronger better insulated, more energy efficient and the people inside will not wage wars over noise. I've lived in shitty apartments, places that should have never been built in the first place. The house I am in now was built in the 50's and will outlast most of the commercial property I've seen built in the last 10 years.
