Re your front page “comprehensive” article about airport noise (“Airport revs up plan to dampen jet noise,” March 19 Beacon, page 1): What nonsense you and all the agencies peddle! My wife and I have lived in Ocean Beach\/Point Loma for 32\u00bd years and have seen multi-engine jets take off with hardly a whisper. The technology to muffle (jet engines) fully is available. So why don\u2019t we just say to the airline businesses, you can only use our airport with fully muffled jets? Well, because: \u2022 the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority is pro-business; \u2022 the Peninsula Community Planning Board is pro-business; \u2022 the San Diego City Council is pro-business; \u2022 the FAA is pro-business; \u2022 the Peninsula Beacon is pro-business. This puts business ahead of individuals. We individuals do NOT want any Quieter Home Program, which is for idiots who don\u2019t understand we live here because we like to have the windows open, even in the winter, drink a martini on our front porch, champagne on our back patio, enjoy gardening in our 5 gardens. All you can say is “new and hopefully quieter planes.” Sure, we can hardly wait. Also, something that no one mentions is that every time one of those jets takes off over us, it is laying down a blanket of poisonous exhaust. Make the airline business clean that up too. We won\u2019t be holding our breath.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
