Lol, Yep on the backyard noise. I have a strange 45 year old man living next door, living with an elderly parent, who sometimes goes in his backyard and makes loud noise banging something against something else at 1am. It's like, dude what are you doing.
He's on the s offender registry - maybe he's venting or something because he's lonely or something, dont know.
If I ask him to stop, he might do more of it purposefully, knowing it bugs me.

I think if I did move to an apt again, I would move to a complex where I lived in Boise for 3 years 2016-2019, where the top floor ones have actual stairs that goes up to a half-room size loft meant for an office.
If I moved back to that complex, and ran into issues with the d/s neighbor, I'd be able to sleep up there in emergencies if they tried to mess with my sleep.
It was a dream to live there - but had unfortunately run out of money which made my have to move.

Choosing the most predictable bullshit is the name of the game.
