Funny (stupid) story.

Denvers original airport was built in the "middle of no where", for noise reasons. Continue on for 30 years and lots of housing built up around it. People start complaining about noise. City decides to move the airport. Moves it 30 miles away, in the middle of no where (now DIA). Yep, you guessed it. People start building close to the airport, and then complain about the noise. I fully expect it to move again in 15-20 years

Laguna Seca, a fairly famous California race track, was opened in 1957 built out in the middle of nowhere. In 2024, people that moved near the racetrack sued to get it shut down.

I know there's some level of caveat emptor when buying a house, and realtors are guaranteed to not have any showings when it's noisy, but maybe just spell it out and the purchaser needs to be made aware.

“I swear, the race track just materialized out of nowhere!” -A wealthy liar living in California

I assume it was dismissed immediately since Laguna Seca is almost 70 years old.

It was not

Hey! I’m one of the people who moved to that area. I could sit on my back patio and watch a line of planes land at night.
