I'm wondering about new luxury buildings at LIC, Queens, WLBRG and so on which are rise right next to the highway bridges.It's so unhealthy even to live at those buildings/exept may be at 20's and upper floors/.They using central air condition or PTAC , and you will be slowly poisoning by those exposure of highway air, with long lasting health problems. And what is the pleasure to have those highway 24/7 views? The views of running cars and trucks and to breathe these high toxic air. What's are the points to explore yourself to so dangerous toxic environment?And paying top dollars price for that?

It would be the train noise and blocked view I would consider most. Late model cars are 100x cleaner than they were a generation ago and half of them will be electric in 10 years.

Now and good example of an awful bridge is the Manhattan. On the Manhattan side it's a dingy part of town nobody in their right mind would pay anything to live in let alone the exorbitant costs. On the Brooklyn side you have a lot of expensive buildings and between the trains crashing across that steel structure and the Sanitation depot it's like being in the Devil's a*shole.

I lived near the train running before for almost 6 years, that did't bother me at all. But I lived also near the highway, after one year I were done with it. Also, the cars running - not all of its new, specialy trucks.
