Your neighbors aren't mad about potholes, it's planes.

You won't believe what your neighbors are complaining about

Okay so, Chi-Town on the wire — you already know! Let's talk about what's really happening on your streets, not just what's on the news. I'm looking at the latest 311 service requests, and nah nah nah, let me explain: the number one complaint, like, by a mile, isn't potholes, it's *aircraft noise*.

We're talking 10,959 requests for aircraft noise complaints. That's almost four times more than the 2,762 calls about potholes. Think about that next time you're stuck in traffic on the Dan Ryan or trying to get to Portillo's, only to hear another plane over your head.

Here’s the breakdown:

* **Aircraft Noise Complaints:** 10,959 requests

* **Pothole Complaints:** 2,762 requests

* **Graffiti Removal:** 1,934 requests

It makes you wonder, ¿verdad? Are we really so used to potholes now that a loud plane is a bigger deal? Or is it that some neighborhoods just get hammered with flight paths while others are quiet? I'm telling you, this is how you see the real divides in our city, even from the sky. We gotta watch if these noise complaints actually lead to any action from City Hall.

Chi-Town on the wire — you already know.

Catch me and the squad breaking down all this and more every morning. No te lo pierdas at mornings.live.
