Laree- I am not complaining about the noise. I am complaining about being forced out of my home. There is a huge differnce between the two.

I remember way back when there was sonic booms everyday and do not remember people complaining and those houses out by the airport were there. People want quiet don’t move there.

EDITOR NOTE–Laree, with lightning strikes and fires in the foothills do you also argue
if people don’t want there homes to burn, they shouldn’t build there and the city shouldn’t allow development? Heck, Boise officials opposed a single Piper Cub runway on private land
AND the fire chief at a public hearing vowed to NOT RESPOND if there was an emergency or fire.

Once you sold the home to the FAA for noise mitigation, you could special order and sell T-shirts that say:
“PATRIOT : I sold my house to the FAA!”

Yes, we know. It is frustrating to discuss it. Complaints and questions to city leaders fall on deaf ears. Some people unaffected by the threat of losing their homes call us whiners and suggest we are unpatriotic. It is a wait and see situation. And, of course, anyone trying to sell must disclose the possibility of being forced out.

Does anyone know if the homeowners in the dispensible area know about this? I walk my dog there frequently, and I see people working hard to maintain home values and quality of life. I’d hate to try to sell one of those homes now, with this approval out.

Perhaps we can get the local refugee population to complain about having Taliban killers based in Boise? Bieter will listen to them.

This is not over yet. There will be plenty of debate about this to come. I know that District 17 reps are all against more noise, for the most part. We need to build a larger coalition.

Inna – Interesting conspiracy theory, and possibly true.
(In a time of universal deciept, conspiracy theories are all we have)
Another might be that they are demolishing all the houses close to the National Gaurd base to create a more defensible buffer for the time when our corporate government goes full Totalitarian on us.

I find it interesting to compare the uproar over a single engined Cessna in the foothills and overall, comparative, lack of concern for something that impacts ALL of Boise.
