It continues to amaze me that cities are allowing–perhaps even encouraging–building so close to the Caltrain tracks. With all of the complaints about train horns and the possibility that high-cost rail could bring many, many more trains at much higher speeds, you just have to wonder what they are thinking. I hope this project in Belmont is putting in some amazing windows and sound insulation in the walls.
Wedged between El Camino and the Caltrain ROW. What could go wrong?
Great point. I used to live next to The El in Lincoln Park/Chicago. We had plenty of yard space in back, the back porch, but still, the sound sucked.
Even at the top of the hill in Belmont, it’s still loud as shit.
Even with ‘Lectrification….bah, baaahh, bahhhhhhhh!
Seems like the horn should just blow at each crossing from the crossing arms and not actually from the train. That’d help.
It’s an apartment developer’s golden era and all the Demwits in Sac and locally are jacking off to it in perfect symphonic rhythm, so if a reader doesn’t like it, complain to the Super Majority party.
Transit Oriented Development checks all the boxes for the Demwits: environmentally friendly-check, creates a ton of trades jobs-check, creates a ton of property tax increases to fuel utopia gov’t jobs and programs-check, creates more overall housing supply to help reduce living expenses-check, creates a percentage of affordable units-check, unions/construction companies/developers contribute heavily to Demwit political campaigns-triple check.
Who’s going to stop the Demwit gravy train here and nation-wide?
Thank God Donald Trump won!
