it would be okay if you never left your house, but the whole town is surrounded. you don't have to go far to be bombarded with traffic, noise, and pollution. why anyone would choose to live near train tracks is beyond me. there are plenty of homes not near tracks. same with hilly places like simpson street with limited parking. you could do a whole lot better IMHO. unfortunately these little towns are looking very long in the tooth when you look closely at the conditions of sooo many of the homes. yes, there are some cute homes that have been kept in good condition, but the housing stock is aging like the population. walk, don't drive the streets and look closely and you will see what i'm talking about. what young families are going to choose these homes now and in the future, especially since they are so cramped and lack the open floor plan that many people find desirable. these compartmentalized houses are a thing of the past and will only attract people who can't afford to go anywhere else, and subsequently not be able to afford modernizing and keeping the homes looking good.
