I agree.

It kind of like people who buy a house on the golf course and then complain that people keep hitting balls into their back yard and breaking their windows.

If you cant take the sound of aircraft flying over your house at all hours then dont move near an airport, simple as that.

PUP4ORD:
Take Chicago O'Hare as a major example. For years communities surrounding the airport would mount a campaign against any expansion of the airport ie noise,property values,not necessary etc.
Bottom line becomes when you live somewhere that has alot of activity,[O'Hare] you have to deal with it. ;)

Bruce Hamilton:
One good thing about living that close to the airport is your house will always have value... if the airport wants to expand, they'll have to buy you out so they can have the property.

Interesting way to think about it...

However, the more practical way to think about it is that your property value is truly reduced as most people won't enjoy the noise and that naturally drives the price down.

Bruce Hamilton:
How noisy can it really be?  Most airlines are flying modern jets with quieter engines, so except for the occasional DC-9 that Delta still uses, you shouldn't hear too much provided your house has soundproofing.
