[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t quite understand the smugness while there’s clear evidence that you’re damaging your hearing and endangering your health (especially the kids). And undermining the efforts to address the situation to benefit you. I’ve never heard anyone say they love the sound of jet engines either so what’s the appeal?

It’s like the Spring Valley hold outs who won’t let their lots be inspected so as not to affect their property values. By the way, the same is happening with the Spring Valley and the DC flight path neighborhoods: I know several real estate agents who have said in private that they would not live nor invest in either but would never tell that to a prospective buyer.

Anyway, I couldn’t bring myself to do it if you handed me a house for free under such a crazy busy flight path. I’ve tried to understand that viewpoint and just can’t find a rational justification (unless someone bought before it got this bad or hadn’t realized just how bad it was, which I think is many).

Given the choice, why is the question?[/quote]

Of course no one likes the sound of jet engines.  But there are trade-offs in life  and people value certain things more highly than others.  If you can't understand that some people may value the short commute, or the nice neighborhood, or being near their schools, or layout of a particular house, or a thousand other things more highly than airplane noise, then I don't know what to say.  Your priorities are not everyone's priorities.[/quote]
