It was tempting. Because I just finished reading The Power Broker, Robert Caro's masterful biography of master builder Robert Moses, it seemed only too right that I live next to one of the many highways he built through residential neighborhoods in New York, so that I could be reminded of his legacy with every breath of smog-filled air. But in the end, I passed at the chance to live in what was actually a pretty nice apartment with a seemingly pretty nice lady because the building faces the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
