As someone who not only lived next to an el for years, but also lived right next to an elevated platform AND a curve leading to it, not only do you get used to it, something seems intrinsically wrong when you don't live next to it anymore. You really do get used to it, you get used to crossing the street under it with trains rumbling overhead, and the spokey sunlight hitting the street under it ain't so bad either. The convenience of having a train right there more than compensates for the noise that you get used to pretty quickly.

Sure it'd be nice to have the trains hidden under the street, but els ain't so bad either. Better than having to trek a long distance or rot for buses to get to the train.
