Your noise complaints are hitting new highs, Chicago!
Okay so, Chi-Town on the wire — you already know. Let's talk about what's happening, or, like, *not* happening at City Hall. The 311 service requests? My tía would say, "ay, Dios mío." The biggest jump isn't about potholes, not even graffiti, which is everywhere near the viaducts in my neighborhood. Nah nah nah, it's *aircraft noise complaints*! Over 8,000 requests, people! That's more than quadrupled since last year, like, what is going on up there?
### What's Up in the Air
This isn't just a few people griping. We're talking 8,038 complaints, making it the second-highest 311 issue after general information calls. You know, you're trying to enjoy Promontory Point, or just chill in your backyard on the South Side, and all you hear is planes. It's like, are they flying lower? Is O'Hare just getting *that* busy? We need to know what's causing this surge, porque la gente está harta.
Meanwhile, your potholes are still out there, just under 2,000 complaints, but the planes, man, the planes are taking over. Keep an eye on the aldermen; someone's gotta address this.
Chi-Town on the wire — you already know.
