Residences built right in the middle of a bustling city may be great in terms of proximity, but not tranquility. As soon as one steps out of their homes, people who live in a gated community have to deal with the noise of rush hour traffic, hordes of people in transit, and crowds strolling around malls and restaurants — an unfortunate downside to living close to everything that matters. Now and again, the movement gets so awful that the commotion contacts you even as you settle in for the night.
