I can’t comment on the specific matters in regard to kids – but two/ nay three points
1) Cities are crowded places these types of matters are surely inevitable – maybe some stratas should have restrictions built in for kids etc – I don’t know – obviously a long-term fix that.
2) I used to live on an acreage our nearest neighbours were 300-400m away from the nearest other property – we still got kiddy noise when they were real excited – just after school finished for a couple of hours in summer. It ended eventually – the renters moved on – the other kids grew up – took a few years though – complaining never worked – always exacerbated the situation and generally resulted in worse behaviour than ever. Sometimes a joint approach with others affected helped a little – not always.
3) Currently live in a terrace – nearby smokers (we are non-smokers and are very sensitive to smoke within a 50m radius I reckon) and excitable dogs who bark a lot is the present bugbear……we just put up with it – it is the price of living in suburbia I think….oh btw the smoker just sold up and moved on – hurray..
Isn’t this all part of living in cities/places/the world – problems generally aren’t solved on the outside anyway…..but moving into philosophy now…
Just a lot of my opinions remember,
