[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you’re being purposefully obtuse and misleading which makes me think you are a real estate agent or someone with a vested interest.

As an easy search or the articles linked here explain, the citizens organized to have a few focal points make the reports. This was a legitimate civic action and organization by honest people despairing over the flight path (or as the Palisades citizen coalition for quiet skies calls it, a “sewer” overhead).

These people are not crazy, obsessed or suffering a mental illness. They are telling the truth and doing a public service. You don’t like it, but the reality is that the properties under the flight path are unlivable now and will become more unlivable as people start to be honest and understand the horrible toll that takes.

Everywhere else in the world such properties are at a 30%-50% discount. In some states, the citizen coalitions admitted the problem and then worked to divert the flight path and in one case the government moved the airport. In one case, the government condemned the houses under the flight path.

In DC, we conveniently forget or deny the obvious. We forgot for close to 50 years that the Spring Valley used to be called Death Valley. We are now denying the thousands of planes per day overhead visible to the naked eye. I think what you’re doing is shameful. But it’s your risk to take although I suspect you’re just earning a commission and not actually having your family live in these neighborhoods.

How can we fix a problem we don’t want to acknowledge exists?![/quote]

The level of hypochondria here is to the moon.  :roll:

What’s it like to have a life sooooooo awesome and fulfilled that you have to manufacture things to be alarmed about? Like, you’re better off than probably 7.7 billion other people on earth….but you gotta have [i]something[/i] to complain about, so you can still be down with the struggle. Rich white people absolutely fascinate me in this regard. I just don’t understand y’all.
