idenix noise

the picture in the story linked by Dew captures the corner of the nicest looking home adjacent to IDIX (corner of Market and Clark for those inclined to Google street view). The other houses on Clark Street are dilapidated. The Hampshire Street side is the only other 'residential' street adjacent to IDIX and it has very heavy traffic so street noise is far worse than the building air conditioning. As for the air conditioning: it is on the far side of the building away from Clark St and IDIX has planted many large trees along Clark and put noise deflectors on the roof.

Having walked by IDIX many times and at many different hours I have difficulty believing that the noise complaints attributed to the building have any merit. The real complaint should be about the owners of the other 2 houses next to IDIX on Clark who don't appear to understand the concept of paint and general maintenance.

Ms. van Beuzekom lives many blocks away so I'm sure she doesn't have any personal interest unless she owns one of the slums next to IDIX.
