[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Airplane noise is not an issue anywhere in the city.

I lived in the Palisades for years and years, I know exactly what it's like in the "worst" part of DC for airplane noise, and if you actually think it's a serious problem you either need therapy for histrionic personality disorder or you need to go enroll in Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters because you've got hearing previously unequaled in human history.

It’s in fact a very serious issue for those who aren’t hearing-impaired. Georgetown, Palisades, Glen Echo, and other neighborhoods near the river have been rendered uninhabitable by next gen and the constant helicopter noise.  The noise keeps getting worse as flight paths move further inland and planes fly directly over these areas at low altitudes, every 3 minutes or so. And no one can reasonably fight the FAA, so the problem isn’t going anywhere. [/quote]

Really? Nobody lives there now?[/quote]

People live there. That doesn't make it good.[/quote]

Exactly, people are trapped because they invested so much into their homes and they love their neighborhoods. Every one of you agonizes here about your housing choices (it's why you are on this forum in the first place) and you cannot understand the hard decisions people have to make who got trapped in this very unfortunate situation because of changes they couldn't have possibly anticipated? It's like these areas are getting purposely destroyed... I have no idea why they targeted these suburbs with these new regulations instead of dispersing air traffic into different directions to give people a friken break! Today I maybe had a whole hour without airline noise if you accumulate all the minutes.  I was so grateful that the assholes who made this decision allowed us some 20 min of peace here and there.  ONe time it was so bad for about 10 min the noise never subsided, it was one plane noise still there when another one starts coming and they fly all over in different directions.  How these neighborhoods get all the new super pricey construction homes selling at all baffles me.  But the RE is very hot here! I think people don't know.. I see most homes have windows closed and nobody hangs out on decks, could be the reason [/quote]
