Okay so, you know how everyone complains about the constant noise, right? Like, you're trying to enjoy Promontory Point and all you hear is planes?
### Your neighbors are really mad about all the plane noise
Nah nah nah, let me explain: the 311 data just dropped, and guess what? "Aircraft Noise Complaint" is the second-highest issue reported in the city, with 11,231 requests. Segundo lugar! That’s more than potholes, graffiti, or even rats, which, believe me, is saying something. People are calling 311 about the planes more than anything except just asking for general info.
Here's what folks are really calling about:
* **11,231** Aircraft Noise Complaints
* **2,252** Pothole in Street Complaints
* **2,061** Graffiti Removal Requests
* **1,036** Abandoned Vehicle Complaints
It just shows you, like, what's really bothering people in their everyday lives. You can't escape it, whether you're in Lakeview or out by O'Hare. It’s a constant, like the construction on the Dan Ryan. It makes you wonder if anyone at City Hall is actually listening to these calls, or if it's just another number in a spreadsheet. We gotta see what, if anything, comes from all these complaints.
