MidtownCoog Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Freaks. Hooks airport has been there a lot longer than 1998.You don't like noise? Don't move near an airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 let the buyer beware. it's really too bad that people can be swayed by builder's model homes so much that they don't notice a railroad track or airport nearby. (mapquest anyone?) it's the same with people buying near the pavilion in the woodlands or near the freeway and then complaining about the noise. it cracks me up. they should've done the research before buying. now, when they push the grand parkway through spring and existing neighborhoods, people will have reason to demand noise reduction consideration.

DaTrain Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 If they don't like the noise, then don't move where there are subdivisions proximity to an airport. NOt only that, these should have never been built in the first place. They brought it on themselves. COMMON SENSE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 This is perhaps an unusual approach to common sense but it works for me.Before you move somewhere, check out the neighborhood. Pretend you live there. Go there late at night, and on weekends. Say hi to people; strike up conversations if you can. Quality of life means different things to different people. Don't take someone else's word for it. You can do no better than to talk to people who already live in a neighborhood, and decide if this is a place you'd like to live. Look before you leap.

HeightsGuy Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 They'll get used to the noise in due time, just like the millionaires have lining the track that marks the boundry between West U and Bellaire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone hear the same? Is it true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 No, they're not. it's too major of a line. But what I HAVE heard is that there has been a petition to make it into a "quiet" zone. What's going to happen is that after a certain time, the trains won't blow their horns. The only major issue is that ALL of the crossings will have to be sure that they work. That has been a few months ago, but I don't know what the status of it is. Ricco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
