This is an argument against zoning residential properties near freight yards, airports etc. Not a criticism of making cities more livable. No one should have to tolerate that level of noise pollution. It's actively hazardous to mental health.

The neighborhood in question has 1 bedrooms starting at $2.6k a month, even after COVID depressed rental prices. People are by no means being forced to live there because they have no place left to go.
