In some respects they are nicer (than ones i've had previously) in my old flat, the neighbours were all young and unemployed so they were in the building all day and night, unbelievably noisy, had parties, had loud violent arguments (the couples), doors slamming constantly, drums being played above me day and night, they knocked at my door daily for various reasons, and chatted me up or were generally pervy or creepy. The girls in one flat i'm 80% sure were prostitutes, and stole my wheelchair from the corridor and when we went to collect it, they were about to have sex on it!
The neighbours in this building are the total opposite, they all work, keep themselves to themselves, very, very quiet, no parties, but they're snotty and unhelpful. But as far as my health is concerned, this type of neighbour is much more suitable for me. After living in noise hell previously; i'd opt for peace and quiet and no help any day even if i do feel like a second class citizen living here
