Okay so, your neighbors are loud but the planes are louder.
### Your planes are driving everyone crazy
Nah nah nah, let me explain: the latest 311 data is out, and it's wild. While everyone's calling for basic info, which is like, 13,392 requests for "311 Information Only," the next biggest complaint? It's "Aircraft Noise," with 7,931 calls. Seriously, almost eight thousand people called in about the planes. That's, like, more than three times the number of graffiti removal requests (2,165) and pothole complaints (2,104) combined. You know how many potholes we got in this city? And people are more annoyed by the jets over their heads.
It makes you wonder, right? Are we talking about O'Hare, Midway? Is it those late-night cargo flights over the Northwest Side, or the tourist choppers buzzing the lakefront? People are getting pushed to the limit, like, they're calling 311 over and over. This isn't just background noise; it's a major quality-of-life issue for thousands of families trying to, you know, live their lives.
* 7,931 "Aircraft Noise Complaint" calls
* 2,165 "Graffiti Removal Request" calls
* 2,104 "Pothole in Street Complaint" calls
You gotta watch if these numbers keep climbing. Is City Hall going to actually do something about the constant rumble? Or are we just supposed to, like, get used to it?
