[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP and that’s definitely not the case. As you can maybe tell from my coming out in favor of the disclosure proposals, I have no desire to add a flight path or the jet emission pollution to the things I voluntarily add to my (and DCs life). However, there are PPs on this thread who have said as much (some have since moved).

I just happen to think that disclosures are the safest and easiest move that protects any side in this type of real estate market. Fair aside, DC is a consumer protection state so it may be just a matter of time before someone takes someone to court and is successful. There are sufficient precedents in FL and WA. Even IAD has a general disclosure related to the real estate.

But it’s interesting that your first instinct is to mock someone in the hope they are shamed into being quiet. Why is that?[/quote]

I’m curious, what would this disclosure even say?  It seems like an easy disclosure would just say that the house is under a flight path, which is easily discoverable and also true of a very very large percentage of DMV real estate and therefore meaningless.  A more fulsome disclosure might talk about decibel levels or something, but would then introduce all kinds of complications over where and when the test was done, by who, etc., and also would become quite expensive because sellers would have to hire a testing company.[/quote]
