166 Montague: Superfantastic?

Is there any reason to think the constant complaints from 180 Montague residents of street noise (delivery and garbage trucks) at all hours will somehow dissipate at 166?

I like how on the scaffolding the illustration is not just a drawing of a lobby — it’s a drawing of the future.

The Bossert building (Jehova Witness owned on corner of Montague and Hicks) is being sold for 100 Million to be resold as fancy shmancy apartments. There goes the neighborhood!

At 5:30 I walk past that corner every morning to go to the gym. And it is one of the least desireable corners in the Heights. There are the guys unloading stock at the side entrance of the Rite Aid, to the coffee vendor who dumps his grease on the sidewalk (look for the patch of sludge as proof during the weekends), the commercial garbage trucks, and huge 18 wheelers. Even though I think it’s a beautiful building, I can’t imagine walking out my front door to smell that chinese restaurant and the density of both cars and foot traffic.

If the nice old buildings were still there so you could look out on that rather than the roof of Rite Aid, that might help.

However, if you live in Manhattan, this part of the Heights would seem practically deserted.
