Just a comment:

If someone purchases a home under an existing approach to an airport does
that person NOT loose his rights to try and close the airport because the
noise above him is too loud??

Well...Airports have lotsa juice...

Been a lot of similar here...where, some old family, not
terribly well to do, has their acre or two...some old Cars
and farm stuff still sitting...sheds full of cool stuff
going way back...

Housing developements crowd around them...then complaints
about all the 'junk' setting behind the fence.

City comes in, or a conrtractor to them, with the
front-end-loaders, knocks the fence over, and fills the huge
dumpsters and trucks till it is all just scraped dirt.
leaves the 'House', but that's about all...

The more 'valuable' old Cars and what...seem to end up
behind other 'fences' as the 'contractors' may have about
their own 'annex' yards...the rest gets 'hi-graded', then
goes to the 'dump'...

Quite a racket...

One couple I knew, the guy dies of a heart attack whilst the
front end loaders were destroying his little buildings and
sheds...as had tuns of his War-Souvineers, and Las Vegas
memorabilia, dateing from the 'thirties when they'd settles
their little spot out past the (then) edge of town...

Contracters being the golf 'buds' of the city-council and
all...

Been five or six like this that I know of...more I hear the
odd telling of...

Brutal...probably illegal IF you got a better 'lawyer' than
them, and if the 'judge' ain't another 'golf-bud'...


Other stuff too...

Not so good...

Common sense would say yes, but common sense doesn't prevail in this case or
many others. In many cities they haven't closed the airports but they have
limited the direction of approaches and hours of operation. Same concept as
building in a flood plain and being shocked when there's water in your
living room. There should be grandfathering for things like this. If it
was there when you moved in, then you need to learn to live with it.

While growing up, I lived under flight paths from Hancock Airport in N.
Syracuse. Long after I moved, my mom got something like $20,000 worth of
free home improvements...lots of which had to do with new doors and windows
so the sound pretty much couldn't be heard from inside. I don't know if the
airport got some kind of grant or what but it was sure a nice thing for mom.
