[quote=bearishgurl]zk, all I was trying to point out here is that living along the SR-56 (whether close enough to be affected by its noise and pollution … or not) is not the only game in town to raise a family in.

That’s not at all what it sounded like, but ok. Not sure of the relevance there. Nobody in this thread said, implied, or even hinted that it was.

I stand by my assertion that no buyer is ever forced to purchase a house with freeway noise.

Not a very bold assertion. I don’t think anyone disagrees with it.

There is no reason for the OP to do it when he/she has choices.

What if the only way they can afford the yard size they want in the school district they want with the house size they want in the climate they want (etc.) is to buy a house that has all that and is only affordable to them because it’s near a freeway? And they place a greater importance on those other things than quietness?

So my recommendation to him/her is to choose a property without it for his/her family’s long-term satisfaction.

Same question as above.
[quote=bearishgurl]
The OP asked here about disadvantages and that’s my opinion.

Your opinion is that they should never buy a house near a freeway, regardless of whether they can trade living with noise for some higher priority (for them) item?
