Great for young families.

Some superblocks sometimes have parks or playgrounds, you never have to worry about your kids getting run over or thrown in the back of a van, more people hang out outside because it isn't sulfery or loud.

> it isn't sulfery or loud.

I lived in one super-like-block in Poland and noise was the reason I had to move out. About 200 flats facing each other, you need only one person to ruin day or night for everyone there. One party at night and you have 600 people who couldn't sleep. One specific neighbour was listening to music from loudspeakers literally all day causing echo in the block. She turned volume up when cleaning and vacuuming, she had to still hear the music WHILE vacuuming. Never want to live to such block ever again, not anywhere close.

I'm confused as to how being in superblock changes that.

That's just living in a city _shrug_

If rather hear kids playing at 3pm than youths on ATVs or random mopeds at 3am

Edit: I think you may be misinterpreting the definition of a superblock

I live in a city now, but the closest supermarket is 6km away. I hear no loud noises, unless it's dogs barking, cats fighting or deer barking. Population density in this area is (probably) a 600x smaller, so I'm less at risk of hearing someones' music while they are vacuuming, losing my mind and not being able to work. Absolutely never going back to dense population and blocks with noise and crime.

We have different interpretations of "living in a city".

i never want to live around kids or playgrounds again though. right now families dump their kids into the streets after school. its a nightmare to live around. the noise is non stop

Might be unpopular but completely agree. I once lived next to a dog park. I love dogs... but damn, lol. People yelling at their dogs. Dogs barking at other dogs. Dogs whining, dogs howling... it was awful.
