    Most of it still was music.
    I get your point, but music, street trade, etc, make placed more lively. Does it increase comfort for geberal population? No. Would places be tidier without people and stuff? Yes. But it woulf be dead and sterile then. So I was ok with that sacrifice (not much or of a sacrifice actually) just because of that.
    And people who live with windows overlooking lively places - they are usually not lively since yesterday. You or your family had years to find a quieter place, so you live here by choice.

    I was working in an office overlooking one of the 5m city central squares.
    All summer it was better to just open all windows than rely on the AC, sonwe did that. We knew all the baskers. Most of them were good, including a band playing dub, and a 12yo guitar virtuoso kid (who got into local news because he practiced on that square).
    There were worse ones - “the annoying guy” with an amp, a mic, and a voice from 5 a.m. karaoke bar. Fake veterans singing songs about soldier life. Fake Native-South-Americans who look like a franchise, as I saw them all across the Europe.
    But in general, it was repetitive, but nice. And then you always have anc headphones (I know you can’t use them working in retail, but at least we could)

    Maybe I am wrong, but even if I’m not trying to control my daughter too much, and we don’t have to solve issues like that yet (she’s 10), I wonder. If she was 17-18, and I received a message like: “my son is planning to fuck your daughter this friday at our house”, I might have ruined that experience for her. At least partly because her weirdo parents are writing me about that, so maybe they have a weirdo son.
    I think I’d prefer to just meet the guy in an official boyfriend status when she feels like introducing him to me.
