Or you could have PTSD or just vanilla noise-sensitivity and just living in a quiet neighborhood could be extremely important to you. You might have made very significant personal sacrifices to afford to move to a suburb for exactly this reason. Should you just be forced to go live in the woods as a hermit, cast out by society?

It's incredibly selfish to use PTSD or noise-sensitivity as a justification for contributing to a situation where tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people have 3-hour commutes when they could otherwise live closer to work.
