Not really, the next major road is some 4 km from me. I chose my place of residence with regard to that (and I actually mostly travel by train/bus).

Also, if electric cars become a thing, you can at least hope that within 10-15 years, environmental damage from major roads will diminish.

You have not refuted the OPs point. We become so used to the impacts that we've grown up with that they tend to become invisible. Cue the pearl clutching and hysterics when something new comes along.

Your "we" does not include "me". I specifically avoid noisy locations all my life. For me, lack of noise is even more important than clean air, though they tend to come together.
