You can live in an unban environment without these problems. Maybe not often found in the US, but where I live (Germany and most of the rest of Europe) it is certainly possible.

4AM deliveries and drunk people are not a reality in most neighbourhoods. I visited family in a small village and the noise from the combine harvester on the fields and trucks of harvest going by was significantly higher then the background noise on my street at night. Also nothing stops you from still owning a car (but using it less), or taking a car-share or cargo bike to Costco.

Thing is noone forces you to live in a dense urban environment. Everyone should have the freedom to choose, while paying the actual cost (with externalities).

Obvious Plug for not-just-bikes on youtube. Great channel that goes into good detail on these matters.
