[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]  Shocking how no one else here cares about the above issues.  [/quote]

Or they realize that particulate pollution is emitted by cars, trucks and buses as well as aircraft, and they all carry risks.   The commenters here on DCUM are much likely to live alongside a busy road or bus route than they are alongside a runway.[/quote]

That’s wrong. Those PMs are larger and disperse lower (under your airway vs. above it with push down forces). To get a similar effect you’d have to live and sleep on a major highway with all diesel vehicles, and it still wouldn’t be quite as bad.[/quote]

That’s an awfully grandiose claim-- got any evidence to support it? And any evidence of the health impact on people?[/quote]

A ton of strong evidence, some articles linked in the thread if you want to bother to look. I suspect though this is a tactic switch because the stance that it’s just a lone crazy complaining is clearly a malicious fabrication. Why would people not want the noise and potentially life-limiting pollution? Gosh, where do I start?!

The facts are, there is a serious flight path issue that in DC predominantly affects the Palisades and Foxhall neighborhoods. There is a lot to recommend these neighborhoods but the lack of planes and pollution and presence of grocery stores, it ain’t. Thankfully, we are getting a new high school!

Now that the facts are settled, there’s the subjective assessment of the noise perception, health and investment risks. As long as you are properly informed, it’s a free country, and wherever works for you. I do take an exception to being gaslit and am glad the honest neighbors are speaking up. Read the post by the MacArthur resident near the bottom of page 5 that I think is very very accurate.
