What does your statement have to do with the lack of cottage homes. We have air conditioning and don't open our windows in July and August. There are a lot of people who don't mind and even enjoy the sounds of traffic, especially at night, they have sold a lot of homes so near to the turnpike that you can read the writing on the trucks as they pass by. My grandmother lived less than 100 yards from the railroad and loved it, no AC, windows always open in the summer. The good thing is if you like traffic noise the homes nearby are a bargain. Final question, why did you continue to live in a house that did not allow you to sleep due to traffic noise for 35 years?
