Really.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

Also, STILL NO TCG!!

Yeah, well I'm used to the big ol' weather maps of California. I'm fully aware of the fact that Austria is not simply the 30-40km circle about Wien.

God, Apt's going to love you too. So, so much.

The carrot is a lie.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

argh... just found out they pushed the shipment date back for my copy of crippled god until march 15th.

I won't even be in the same town when it finally comes in either so i don't think i'll get it until about 20th now.

So there's a daycare in the apartment upstairs. Been there since September.
In the last month me and the downstairs neighbours have been trying to find a solution. We went to the landlords and they said that they'd look into it, and most likely force the people upstairs to close down. This made sense because if they didn't they'd have a high rate of turnover in their downstairs apartments. These apartments not being soundproofed against 9 kids.
Anyway, I found out today that as a fully legal daycare they have contracts with their clients. Also, daycares are in short supply here and the government imposes hefty fines on contract breaking for daycares.
So, in short the renters upstairs who never told anyone they wanted to start a daycare are essentially protected by the state by the sheer monetary penalty of telling them their dicks and closing down their business. If they had told before hand we would have said no and no problems. But by doing it in a sneaky fashion they are now safe.
Now I could stay here and enjoy hearing 9 kids screaming, wailing, running, cackling or move out. I was considering it, but moving out is a pain considering I was planning on being here maybe another 2 years at the maximum and don't feel like moving so much. Now I have no choice, all the other downstairs renters are bugging out and the landlords know they won't be able to rent to anyone else after so they're thinking of letting the upstairs renters expanded the daycare.
My choices are, keep living here regardless and be literally surrounded by annoying noise machines, or move out in a few months, something I had not in the least planned for.

There's also pressure on me to move back to my hometown. Some might say that's not so bad. Just I've been where I am for a nice long while, other than work, life is pretty good. Means destroying my social life obscenely quickly, and the distance between home and here is rather much. Also, I don't want to move back in with my parents, even temporarily.

I'm rather cross about the whole thing.

I'm still a lowly wage slave and as such I work more evenings and weekends than days. Which means I'm home when the kids are.

A possible avenue: egg cartons stapled to the ceiling and then covered by a drop ceiling.

I'm considering it, I've already started collecting the egg cartons. I hope they block direct concussive sound to the floor because those kids run hard.

Tell the landlord to insulate the walls. This being a multi-tenant complex, only an old building or an inconsiderate landlord would avoid doing it.

@ Stormy:

It's not a complex, but a house that has apartments in the basements. Before last summer the landlords lived upstairs and were quiet as death. They moved into their own house and rented the upstairs portion as is logical. The problem was, the tenants upstairs never said a thing about having a daycare. There is minimum soundproofing but it isn't up to code, but it wasn't a problem before, now it is.
They don't want to renovate the whole house to get up to code. The reason is that they want to sell the property in the near future (2 years minimum) and develop it into high density residential. They don't want to invest so much for such a short period as far as they are concerned. There is an obvious hole in that logic. Why allow the daycare to expand and do minor renovation to accommodate (a bit cheaper than tearing down all the ceilings and walls I'll admit) if it's only going to be gone soon?
There are also a lot of other logical holes to the point where I think something crooked is going on. After 3 years of having no problems what so ever it's rather disheartening to think that my otherwise fair landlords have suddenly turned. Though to be honest I think it has more to do with their wishywashiness that's put them in a corner and now they're panicking. Still some things don't fit that theory and I only hope I'm paranoid, or this is going to be long.

I'm going to fight this but I'm going to hedge my bets as well.
