We can use don’t/doesn’t mind to mean ‘not feel annoyed or worried by something’.
I don’t mind living near the train line. You get used to it.

Is the sentence in red a declarative sentence in the present tense or an imperative sentence?

It's not an imperative sentence. That only leaves the other one.

get used to - become accustomed to

I didn't think I would like living alone, but I guess you can get used to anything.

I didn't think I would like this kind of weather, but I guess you can get used to anything.

The imperative would be "Get used to it!" and wouldn't be said by the speaker about themselves.

Does "You get used to it" mean "You can get used to it"?

I've been doing that a lot lately. Why didn't you fix it for me? 😉

I wonder if there's a word for that. The word is not spelled incorrectly. There are simply two of them when there should be one. Hm. (Sometimes I catch it. Sometimes I don't.)

The present tense of "get" or "become" sounds semantically odd to me.

That's because it's not a matter of tense but of mood. In that example get is not the present indicative tense. It is the imperative mood. The speaker is telling his audience that they HAVE TO get used to it.

Does that refer to post #1?

There is no imperative in I don’t mind living near the train line. You get used to it.
If it's a declarative sentence, "You'll/You can get used to it." sounds more natural.

The two sentences have slightly different meanings, Neither is 'more natural'.

What's the difference in meaning between them?
By the way, the sentences below sound odd to me because it's in the present tense.
You get married.
You become a teacher.
You buy a car.

By the way, the sentences below sound odd to me because of BEING in the present tense.
You get married.
You become a teacher.
You buy a car.
There is no context to them. Why would they sound odd?

Because they are action verbs in the present simple tense.
You are/get? married.
You are/become? a teacher.
You have/buy? a car.

They are all possible in the proper context.

Thank you for your explanation.
