Thanks for using sign language - I couldn't hear what you said because of the airliners and helicopters that fly the length of the Potomac River from the beltway southward.

Specifically:
- Why would it be better/worse to be on the canal side of Macarthur?
- East or west of Arizona?

Thanks in advance.

In general, the closer you are to the Potomac River and to downtown, the more airplane noise related to DC National airport pollutes the area, and ruins living there. Spring Valley is a much quieter and sane neighborhood.

Sure, Spring Valley is quiet. The toxic munitions under your soil are silently killing people in your hood.

Bull_ _ _ _. Any homesite remotely contaminated was thoroughly remediated decades ago, such that SV is vastly cleaner than 99.999% of the rest of the country.

B.S. right back at you. Believe this if you want and if it makes you feel better. Remediation continues to this day. Live ammunitions has been discovered as recently as the last couple of years. Chat with your neighbors and you'll hear plenty of stories of kids sick with rare brain cancers, of other neighbors where both spouses have aplastic anemia, where seizure disorders are way above the norm. But, you're probably right, I'm sure there's no connection at all to the buried neurotoxin munitions in your soil.

What is YOUR interest in prolonging the remediation? It's hard for contractors to give up a golden goose....Nearly $100million spent in SV to date.
I've chatted with SV residents for well over a decade....NO stories of rare brain cancers, aplastic anemia, or seizure disorders.
