If exhaust fumes get into the room too often you're doing it wrong. You shouldn't be able to smell it inside. I've at times made the fire go a little harder to get rid of fumes (kitchen oopsies). My air quality measurer found it remarkably effective.

As for neighbors. That is true but at the same time these things are rather sustainable and from a time when the population density was lower. I think they still have some place outside of cities untill heatpumps come down in price.
