What this tells me is that the internal combustion engine is a bad idea everywhere but especially in a dense urban core.
People like both the dense urban core and the suburb single family home life style. They are very different modes of life. A lot of Europeans I know really like one or the other because they don’t really get them back home.
The solution to road noise doesn’t have to be a dramatic rezoning and a reversion to Europe everywhere. It could be to make cars and trucks quieter.
(N.b., I’m specifically not addressing SFH and housing shortages in this, hopefully that’s for a different thread)
