Noise From Burbank Airport
- Share via
The suggestion recently made by one of your readers that residents of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena share the noise from the Burbank Airport is idiotic. When my wife and I purchased our home in Burbank our real estate agent suggested a couple of properties that fell within the airport’s noise footprint. Because those properties fell within that footprint we didn’t even consider them.
It makes absolutely no sense that the Burbank terminal expansion issue has dragged on for years and wasted millions of dollars in litigation because people who chose to live within the airport’s noise footprint complain about airport noise.
I suppose if the same reader bought a home next to a landfill he’d complain about the smell and suggest that garbage be spread around the surrounding communities so they could share the odor.
