        And then deal with all the car noise pollution? No thanks.

        What do you propose they do with that space? Adding literally any way to access it necessarily interferes with the roads around it and makes the entire project pointless.

        Even ignoring that obvious problem, you can’t use it for housing since there’s nothing there and it’s surrounded by high-speed traffic. Can’t build shops or other amenities there since nobody stops and it’s surrounded by high-speed traffic. You definitely can’t put livestock there.

          That wasn’t the argument I was responding to. The initial argument was that the interchange was taking away space that could be used to house people. Simply replacing the interchange with housing would cause even larger problems than developing the empty land around it.
