[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about people who have lived in Potomac for 20 plus years and the amount of planes flying over head has increased exponentially.  It was not an issue at the time.  It begins around 5:30am and continues late into the evening.  Sometimes during the day 3-4
Planes fly every 10 minutes.  [/quote]

My understanding is that the situation in Potomac is a lot better than further south in moco. Every 10 minutes? It's like every 2 mins (or worse) at some points during the day in Brookmont. [/quote]

You do realize that the Potomac residents are running this show, right?[/quote]

Yes, I am aware of this fact. Sad that they still complain, but increasing wealth tends to go hand in hand with being an obstreperous ass. [/quote]

Brookmont civic association supported all the initiatives put forward by the MoCo reps on the DCA Community Noise Working Group including those that put airplanes departing DCA closer to your community like those that were implemented in 2021. I am sure you were told you must share the noise and not expect much because you should have known when you bought your house it was close to the airport and the river. [/quote]

We knew. We are OK with it and enjoy being able to walk to the C&O whenever we want. We just find the Potomac poster's complaints to be completely in-character :-) [/quote]

Were you really fine with not having any opportunities to ask questions, provide feedback or comment on the proposals that were affecting your community? Wow. [/quote]

It all happened before we bought our home. I am the OP and am happy to see this thread still open, continuing to attract ire and rebukes from both the "what noise?" and "ultrafine ppm will kill you" crowds. I'm happy to report that life in Glen Echo is wonderful.[/quote]

I doubt that very much. Are you getting ready to sell or something?

Ultrafines by the way are very likely to kill you but are more dangerous to the children living there who don’t get a say. It’s like saying living above a gas station is wonderful. Maybe but science disagrees [/quote]

I would enjoy seeing said science (I am a faculty member at a local university that you definitely know, and I do "science" for a living buddy).[/quote]

Contributing along the lines of this PP, the fearmongering ultrafine poster should check: https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/regulations_policies/policy_guidance/envir_policy/catex.pdf[/quote]
