Just freaking hilarious.
Read the comments from the article

Waiting to see if we have any grumpy ol’ FReepers that agree with Butch....
this article is chock full of morons.
The “victim” doesn’t know how lucky he is. Around here the schools use Emminet Domain and just take your house for a price THEY deem acceptable.
Mom....They made me do it.
The police just can't get out of their own way sometimes. This is like a guy who buys a house next to an airport and complains to the cops about the "big noisy white thingies", and the cops then issue a citation to the air traffic controllers.
Butch bought a house next to a school and is complaining about the noise of drop off and pick up and kids playing. This is the kind of putz that buys a house near the airport and complains about the noise from take offs and landing.
just pure insanity.....
A porn-star name if ever there was....
That’s taking Grumpy Old Man to an extreme... the kids have to be silent and no one in the community can use the grounds outside of school hours?
Sounds like the school might need more land. Perhaps they should buy Mr Armstrong’s place, and turn it into a buffering planted zone, and he could move to a nice quiet retirement community where no one makes noise.
This sorta reminds me of those people who complain about a Naval Air Base that is noisy...but did not realize that when they built their home. It just has to make you laugh.
From what the article said, Butch has lived there a very LONG time. The noise has gotten increasingly worse. He has tried to work with the school. NO ONE has the right to play music loud enough that I can hear it thumping away behind a sound wall that is 7 feet high. I am not grumpy or old. I don’t like a lot of the so called music that some people insist on blaring at all hours. I suspect that this group is deaf on so many levels.
What's he doing, sitting by with a counter?
Angry, bitter and anal is no way to go through life, Butch.
This guy is just one of those people who love to cause problems just for the fun of it, I think he enjoys making people bow to his wishes. He bought this house a couple of years ago, I wish the city would tell him to stick it.
You buy a house next door to a school then during daytime hours you’re going to hear kids on recess, period, even an idiot knows that. I bet he doesn’t complain when it is quiet as a tomb during the night and weekends when he is trying to sleep though.
If OLD BUTCH gets to Heaven he will be hearing a lot of Rejoicing. If,as I believe, he winds up in Hell he will be hearing a lot of wailing a gnashing of teeth. Life is a BEACH then you die! SO BE IT!
I Love Jet noise.
I do too actually. It makes me think of America as strength. Are we weird??? lol.
Exactly...I've had tenants like this before. He'll keep complaining.
We lived near a high school (a block away) in South San Jose (very suburban). At first it was okay. It increasingly got worse.
Kids started parking in front of our house so they could walk to school. One year it got so bad that we tried getting the school involved. I guess the school had cut down on the number of parking spaces. We lived on a corner, and the kids would park on the corners of the street and block all visibility. I was nice and told them that they were not supposed to park on the corners and that they could be towed. I put notices on the cars for weeks. The kids were snotty and started cussing me out. Then, I started having the cars towed.
At the time, I had 3 children under 5 years old. The neighbors across the street had 2 children under 2 years old. Luckily our neighbor was also a cop.
After that year, parking was never an issue. The kids also got nicer. If they did park in a corner, we would just tell them the situation and they would apologize and move.
The other thing that I noticed about the school is that they increasingly had the PA system on during lunch time. What really bothered me is that they would play rap songs with cuss words in them. If they are going to have loud music, they should at least play nice music.
We finally moved. We needed a larger house, and my husband didn’t want to spend lots of money on that house with all the school problems.
After we moved, the school installed lights at the football field for night football games. I’m glad we’re not living in that house because I think the Friday night games will make that area loud, trafficky, and probably increase vandalism and drinking in the area.
Of course, as the areas have developed around airports, people don't bother to check flight paths before buying a home.

I am sure the complainer was an old fart who was bored sitting on his behind all day watching Murder She Wrote.
Who moves next to a school and expects it to be quiet?
Wow. This is insanity.
