When I used to work in the office (pre-COVID), there was a 5-story apartment building built in what I can only describe the worst location possible.

Side 1 - The busiest Firefighting station of the town on a road named the most dangerous road of the town by a local news source

Side 2 - Qdoba & Chinese food restaurants, followed closely by the busiest artery of the town

Side 3 - Shopping Plaza parking lot with at least 500 car capacity

Side 4 - our office building & post office

I struggled to imagine the kind of person who willingly decides to live in a place surrounded by car traffic, (thus air pollution and noise) at least 12 hours a day.

The complex didn't even have any kind of greenery around it, except for a few shrubs. Also, if you lived on the bottom 2 floors, you had a view of the concrete car garage of the complex and nothing else (garage was immediately adjacent to the shopping plaza)
