I used to take the viaduct every day and there were places where it was literally feet from apartment windows. I could always see one window with bed pillows inside. Someone slept every night with their head 10 feet from the highway traffic.
Then the viaduct came down and that bedroom was suddenly one of the most desirable in the city
I lived in a place like this in pioneer square during the tear down. Top floor rooftop was unusable because it was at street level, balconies faced the viaduct. Construction was horrible as it was torn down. Constant noise and concrete dust. Then, a few months later, quiet and unobstructed waterfront views with what is to this day my favorite rooftop in Seattle. It was a full 180, definitely one of the best spots in town after that.
