NIMBY. Nobody wants an airport near their house. There have been multiple threads on here about folks that moved in near an EXISTING airport, then complained about the associated airplane noise. That's part of the reason why large airports seem to be trending towards being just outside of a city instead of right in the middle of it, I fly through DIA (Denver) often and it is in the middle of nowhere. Of course the irony is that people that work at the airport want to live closer to work so they build houses, which turns into a town, which turns into a city, which starts to complain about airplane noise...........

There's a lot of ignorance about airports and their associated positive economic impact, many folks like to demonize them as rich doctors and businessmen flying off to vacation in the Bahamas. In truth they provide a significant economic benefit to a community.

I live under the flight path for our local AFB as well as a nearby airport with mostly general and business aviation traffic. I love watching the planes fly by, even if I can hear them inside of my house.
