From the viewpoint of a person who wants to buy within the next two years:
From what I have read on this forum it appears that the issue of whether the train noise will increase or decrease is an unknown at this point. Without TOTV I would not have known about this issue. I have made my mind up that I will look basically east of Buena Vista for our home. I think it only makes sense given the unknowns.
I know some of you will say "that leaves out all sorts of good neighborhoods" and you would be correct. But I don't think I could look at myself in the mirror 5 years from now and say "why didn't you stick to your guns?" as the train noise gets worse. Many things affect the value of a property and this (the train situation) is just one thing to keep in mind.
My 2 cents.
