Eh, I wouldn't be so misanthropic about this.

If you're living in the slum conditions like I used to you aren't some suburban parasite. You're likely a broke ass student or a retail serf who is likely queer or an oppressed nationality.

Sure can it get loud? Yes but any group of people forced into cramped conditions with shitty walls woulld get loud because people make noise and shouldn't be forced into cramped conditions.

It depends on location, then.

Around here, "pods" are very noisy because they're contaminated by trust fund cishet white failsons (that are indeed suburban parasites in denial) and the queer or oppressed nationality people that are in the mix get actively and aggressively harassed in such places. It sometimes makes the local news but nothing is done about it.
