[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be great if the incessant "airplane noise" poster upped the dosage on their medication. It isn't a noise issue; it is a mental health issue.[/quote]

I’m assuming you are referring to me because I have posted before and genuinely cannot imagine why anyone would buy in your neighborhood at the current premium prices.

Guess what: NONE of these posts above are mine! Most people have eyes and ears, and increasingly brains.

Ad hominem attacks don’t displace the need to discount the property under the flight path at 30%-50% to the rest of the comparable WOTP. But that’s not happening and you keep gaslighting the buyers so people will keep posting about it.

Tide will turn you’ll see.[/quote]

I have followed the airplane noise discourse in this forum for years and I have always viewed this poster (and others who take the same view) as providing a public service. I moved to Glen Echo Heights from DC in the mid-2010s clueless about the DCA noise issue (and just didn't focus on it during open houses, walk-throughs, etc.). With the caveat that one's personal sensitivity to this kind of noise can vary, and with the further caveat that every neighborhood (and property) can be impacted differently, I found the airplane noise in Glen Echo to be borderline unbearable.

The noise is truly incessant (it's so bad that any short period of relative quiet becomes salient), and it starts unconscionably early (it was a dark day when the first flyover shifted from ~5:35am to ~5:12am a few years back). To paint a picture: if you wanted to play a little music while enjoying the back deck but didn't want to annoy neighbors, you had to adjust the volume every 60-90 seconds. That's obviously a first-world problem, but you get the point -- by choosing to live there, you are choosing to live with this constant issue. To each his own of course, but I can't believe what people pay (indeed, what I paid and what my buyer paid) to live under that flight path.
