private planes lower housing prices

Home prices in most of the San Francisco Bay area
have reached new high's, except in one city, but
there is a catch.

The city of Newark has many people moving out, and many
nice homes for sale after months of being on the market.

Why, you may ask?

It is because of the constant drone of private planes
using the airspace above Newark as their playground.

Most of the flights originate from the Palo Alto airport,
right across the bay, where they have a gentlemens
agreement about not flying over Palo Alto.

Prospective homeowners are told up front about the
"noise condition" they will have to live with, and
many, after hearing plane, after plane, after plane
would never live there at any price.

Prospective homeowners are probably unable to afford housing in a
quieter location.

I am not sure I understand what you are whining about:
high housing prices? or factors that might contribute
to lower it in some areas and which are -- as you
mention it yourself -- disclosed openly to prospective
buyers. So what's your problem exactly?

Pilots are providing affordable housing which is in short supply in the Bay
Area.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

So is the noise problem in Newark or Fremont? The last time
you trolled this group, it was Fremont.

For those not familiar with the Bay Area, Newark and Fremont are
both right on the final approach course to Oakland, next to Hayward,
and across the bay from San Carlos and Palo Alto.

Everywhere in the Bay Area has air traffic over it, even the
multimillion dollar houses.

....and when the airport closes, they sell their house first thing
(to cash in, and because they can't stand the increase in noise
and traffic due the higher population density that soon follows the
development of the late airport);

I knew that, but if we must get trolls once in a while, I would
expect a higher standard; even skylune articulates his
'arguments' better than that...

The only problem is -- there is no correlation between housing prices
and proximity to GA airports -- commercial airports, perhaps, but not GA
airports.

In fact, some of the priciest houses in my area are ON an airport, with
taxiway access!

That's great. So, in addition to providing the majority of candidats for
airline pilot positions, keeping costs in check, GA is directly acting to
check inflationary housing costs! Close that GA airport and you'll be
contributing to less affordable housing and transportation - degrading two
leading "quality of life" social indicators.

Well thank you (I think). Of course, much of the time, Skylune is just
clowning..... (like with the electronic monitoring link)
