And Yet, I Bet 405-Adjacent Home Prices Have Still Gone Up
Latest scare from the L.A. Daily News: Live next to the 405 in the Valley, get cancer.

Residents who live next to the congested 405 Freeway through the San Fernando Valley are at least twice as likely to develop cancer from breathing vehicle exhaust than those who live next to highly industrial areas, air quality regulators say.

In fact, freeways are the one of largest sources of cancer-causing contaminants in the Los Angeles Basin.

And the stretch of the 405 Freeway from the 118 Freeway to the Sepulveda Pass is the worst in the Valley -- although it ranks well below the ports, LAX and several high-traffic interchanges elsewhere in the region.
