Suck it up. You chose to live in a city.

And hence why lots of people don’t want to live in dense cities, and then we end up with NIMBYs who want strict housing codes so they don’t have to live near people who set off fireworks.

Living in a city shouldn’t have to mean tolerating lawlessness.

		Plenty of places people can move without others around. I might feel a bit of empathy for someone living surrounded by farmland and having a city built up around them, but that is incredibly rare and even in that case that only makes their property far more valuable to sell and move to another cheap rural area. If someone moves into an expanding suburb or right on the edge of a city and complains about the city expanding, zero empathy, they should of thought about that when they bought the property.

Unfortunately it's not just dense cities, and all it takes is 1 neighbor to ruin your night.

I chose to live in a city with laws. The ones who are in the wrong place are the ones who don’t want to follow those laws.

My city did not have these issues. Population changes and cultural changes have brought in a large enough number of anti social people that then make things bad for everyone else. It’s not about being in a city, but the fact that a small number of selfish people think they have a right to disrupt everyone else.

A bigot is born

"Population changes" and "anti social" being codewords for anyone not in your small group of acceptable people who follow your rules and share your priorities. You were there first so why can't you be the boss?

		Laws are laws, and they still exist. Being anti social means acting in ways that affect others in society negatively. That’s what setting off fireworks late at night is. Yes, they need to follow OUR rules because we live in a society. And they should share my priorities. If they were doing things that ONLY affect them, that’s different. But we’re talking about waking everyone else up. Spare me your virtue signaling.
