I wish! As someone who have lived in one of those concrete apartments from the communist era of my country, at least as they were made here, you do hear your neighbours. And if your neighbours have an active kid or a bigger breed dog that likes to jump a lot especially. Also every time they drop something on the fooor. I’m not very familiar with construction and material propeties, but there is something about concrete that carries vibrations easily. When a neighbour starts doing some renovations the power drill can be heard in half of the building (it was a nightmare for me, who worked night shifts at the time).
Don’t get me wrong, I’d still prefer that hell to being homeless.
I am doing dry January, because it’s last month here, and since it’s the company that is letting me go to cut some expenses I can’t care less. I just quickly wrapped up and documented stuff that I worked on, just because my colleagues are cool and I’d hate to leave them with some mess to deal with after me.
