Where couldn't you live?

[Harry Bloomfield]

I would say a busy road

I couldn't live - on a busy road, somewhere that was too long a walk to be out in the country, somewhere lacking a good regular bus service, where there wasn't a good source of local shopping, where there was a constant distant drone of traffic all the time, where I didn't have my own private doors and space. That rules much of the south out and especially Londinium - horrible place to have to live.

My road is busy, but my garden is long and quiet, there lots of busses (but not too many), the river/navigation is just 10 minutes away, still have some farm fields around (reducing soon!) and shops about 12 minutes walk away. The only downside is the busy road, but in a way, that is not so bad. Less burglaries along this stretch, less dodgy people loitering around etc. because it is too busy to get up to mischief without somebody noticing, so that is a plus.

couldn't live in a none fully detached house

Yeah, that as well!

Yeah, I moved here to get a detached house. 5 years of pain, but worth every penny.

Any country that wasn't run by caucasians.

Will you emigrate if the UK has a non Caucasian PM in the coming years? Or do you mean X% of the cabinet would need to be non Caucasian before you'd be packing your bags?

Rules out America too

Why in particular, assuming no noisy, or troublesome neighbours and a well built house so sound doesn't travel?

Within reason and referring to things that create a degree of noise, you can do what you want when you want without fear of disturbing next door. Also, if they're on the noisy side you're not affected. I'm a bit of a night bird so I enjoy being able to do things like watch an action movie (early hours) with volume at reasonable level without thinking about disturbing neighbours.

And let's be honest, many modern houses/apartments have next to zero effective sound-proofing.

Basically majority caucasian government/authorities with white, Christian underpinnings and some semblence of rule of rule. Living under anything else wouldn't be advisable.

Eg. Yes - USA, Canada, Europe, Oz, NZ.

No - Africa, Arabic countries, Asia, Far East, South America.

If you share walls, floors/ceilings with others, sound will always travel. Fact.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

What about places like Russia, Turkey, China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Venezuela?

 

[motorbiking]

Up north. It’s grim.
Essex (which for me is up north)
Paris, Athens, Marseilles - dirty slums
In a haunted house (or one rumoured to be)

obviously China, North Korea, Iran, etc.

We have nothing shared, cavity wall between us. I can sometimes tell when they have their TV on, but only if I turn mine off and really listen hard.

South America is very white (apart from those descended from slaves, but they don't rule and have much fewer freedoms than in USA, UK etc) and very Christian - much more religious than most European countries these days.

Russia - very white, Christian and a lot of rules that are imposed to the T. That must be the best place to live right now.

Not so much now, but I used to like my music and films loud. Detached a must. And lounge not attached to bedrooms either.
Last house (semi) I did a lounge extension just so I could enjoy myself without upsetting the neighbours. Although, they still got annoyed with everything else we did (like park on our own drive, let our kids play outside etc etc!)
