In my one serious foray into politics, I learned something instructive. People either support your position or do not support your position for a variety of reasons. For the most part, the reasons for or against have no logical relationship to whatever the situation is. I was astonished when people supported a new runway reversing the direction of the present runway, which even the FAA didn’t support it due to local prevailing winds. (It was an attempt by the local board to funnel some of the plane-seat tax into their pockets. The governor threatened to dissolve the board.) This neighborhood was, although close to an airport, a quiet residential area and planes would have been low enough on an hourly basis to see the dirt streaks from the rivets. One guy told me he missed the noise from when he lived in New York. Forget the impact on the resale value of his home. Some people are contrary responders and always take the opposite tact regardless of the impact on themselves and others. (The FAA finally quashed the plan.)
At Mets games at Shea Stadium, batters used to step out of the box because of the planes flying over. It was in the takeoff-landing pattern of the airport.
