Environmental factors that impact on streets

StreetAdvisor recently published a list of the worst 5 streets that have been reviewed recently. Before that, we published a list of the top 10 streets, as well as a commentary on annoying neighbor behavior called Hell is other people. This dealt with issues like noise, messy yards, pets and crime.

When it comes to choosing the right property, there is another issue that is extremely important to all residents - the environment. Noisy unfriendly neighbors may move out in a year or two, but if you have high voltage power lines nearby or live under the descent path to your nearest airport, you may have to live with the consequences forever.

Different people appreciate different things about their environments, so it's not always easy to assume that everyone feels the same way about any of the issues outlined below.

I couldn't stand living near an airport. However, you can get used to certain things. When I was a kid my grandparents lived in the country with a railroad about half a mile away. I actually liked hearing the lonesome train whistles in the night.

Brian, Now that is a trailer park. I didn't have time to read the article but I wanted to let you know I like the picture. I did bookmark it and will read and comment later.

Brian, I would not live in or near any that are listed. Power Lines are my biggest. It completely takes away, IMHO, from the beauty. Besides that, I always seem to think there will eventually be some type of health hazard. I guess to each to own. The park is hysterical, although I wouldn't live there.
