The article kept mentioning that it was the re-building of the bridge that added noise and soot and such. But... there was a Bay Bridge there before, right? That island isn't very big, so the bridge couldn't have moved that far... how is the new bridge so categorically different for the view/air/noise of this house than the old one was?
The old bridge was a couple 100 feet over, on the other side of the hill behind the house. Big difference if the freeway is behind a hill vs directly overhead. :)
