NEW YORK - Residents of several housing developments in Coney Island are fighting to find a long-term solution to what they're calling unbearable subway screeching.Natasha Lvovich has lived in her Brightwater Towers apartment for 30 years. She learned to always have earplugs on her nightstand. 'We are surviving with the earplugs and double windows and constant complaints,' she tells CBS New York's Hannah Kliger.

Democratic State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, who represents New York's 23rd District, is trying to get a cost estimate for an acoustic enclosure as part of a capital improvement project.
