My folks live in the NW valley, and say that people up around Luke are always complaining about the noise. To which we reply: Next time, don’t be stupid enough to build next to an Air Force base.
My husband was submariner stationed at Norfolk, VA. The locals HATED the military base, the sailors, the congestion, the traffic... they never stopped complaining.
My husband always responded by saying, “If they don’t want the base here, how would they like having it moved? Their economy would plummet and where would the thousands of shipyard workers find employment?”
they build that close because property is cheaper. property close to highways, military bases, train tracks, cemetaries, airports, gun ranges, due to noise levels, is going to be cheaper. then the people later realise if they get rid of the what caused their property to originally be cheaper, their homes will be worth more.
Next time, don’t be stupid enough to build next to an Air Force base.
Excellent!!! I am so made at these idiots who complain about the noise at a base when it was there first. I would definitely understand more if the base just popped up and these folks had their homes their first, but these bases have been here for years and years. Virginia Beach is the WORST!!! The base has been their forever practically, but these stupid rich folks (wish I could use a better word) who built right next to the base yell and scream all the time. The base is forced to change their flying times and all sorts of things. I wish the city would tell them to got to heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
