zk, I’d like to know what you think is a “higher priority” than quiet enjoyment of one’s real property.
Leave the school attendance area out of the equation for a moment, since CA public school districts can basically place your student anywhere they have room for them so school placement is essentially out of a parents’ control.
What would be the reasons you would choose to make offers on a house with incessant freeway noise (or under a busy military or commercial flight path) over a house which didn’t have these flaws?
Name the pros and cons (and guesstimate price differences) of each property. Thanks.
And no judgments on my end. I am really, truly curious.
