I grew up in the country... where there was a field opposite our house, and only three houses on our 1+ mile road (one of those ppl being our cousins). We had space to move, and fresh air to breath.
For the past decade I've been living in town... in a concrete jungle... in a town that isn't very dog friendly.
A couple weekends ago we got a knock on our door first thing in the morning. It was one of our neighbours, saying (nicely) that they had spoken with all their neighbours and thought they should speak with us first before calling on us... about our dogs barking! This was a complete shock b/c this is one thing we've always been very good about. Do the dogs ever bark... yes... a couple times until I can get to the door to let them in. Now I'm afraid if they make a peep when I let them out to potty. It's not that I'm afraid of the city being a problem... but you just can't trust people who decide against you ya know.
Oy... I hate having neighbours all around.
