If you want "fresh air", why do you live near other people? Especially an entire neighborhood full of people who burn things, if you hate smoke. You can't have everything exactly how you please.

Nothing worse than a busybody neighbor who thinks he owns the patent on how to live in a neighborhood.

I live way out in the country exactly so I can live how I choose without some judgmental ass breathing down my neck. Maybe you should do the same to escape the terrible, obnoxious smell of burning wood.

I'm sure there's weed smokers in the neighborhood causing you serious quality of life problems too. Escape while you still can!

Good neighborhood = keep your emissions low. Be it sound, light, or smell. These rules apply to almost all public places. If you want to be loud, burn shit or have floodlights, move to a place outside of the city.

> move to a place outside of the city

Now there's an idea I can get behind. Best move I ever made. City living and I just don't mix.

Five miles from pavement, and my air quality is perfect 365 days per year.

I hear some gunshots during hunting season, echoing across the valley, but they'd be drowned out by the frogs singing--they're way louder.

Wait until these guys start telling you you don't need a truck.

> I hear some gunshots during hunting season

I don't mind the gunshots near my house during hunting season, because I have good neighbors. Those shots mean my freezer is getting stocked with venison.

		I live far enough out that the gunshots are usually people hunting NFS land. A huge swath of it borders my property, as I'm the last house up the road on my mountain. I don't mind 'em at all, though. I think it's locals, just folks I haven't met. They keep it clean and they go up far enough I can't hear anything besides the rifle crack.

i see both sides, having lived with both super sensitive and petty neighbors, and also inconsiderate, loud neighbors.

There are definitely sensitive people who have either misophonia rage, or PTSD from something, and they can't handle normal levels of city noise.

on top of that, some apartments simply allow smoking inside. If they always use the balcony, they're really doing you a favor.

if you are worried about emissions, you really have to think about cars and refineries and jets, and even restaurants. These are incredibly out of control when it comes to pollution and disease.

in my experience, if you're buying machines and building devices, and your target refuses to play that game, then it's clear who the adult is, and who the child is.
