Your Chicago neighbors are losing sleep over 8,340 plane complaints

Your neighbors are really mad about this

Okay so, Chi-Town on the wire — you already know. Let's talk about what's really buggin' people in this city, right? Because while you were, like, sleeping, the 311 service requests were blowin' up. And guess what? The top issue isn't potholes, though we all know those are bad, especially after a winter like we had. Nah nah nah, it's *aircraft noise complaints*. More than 8,300 of them! Think about that. People are calling 311 more about planes flying over their heads than almost anything else.

### What's Keeping Us Up

It's wild, right? We're talking 8,340 complaints, according to the latest 311 data. That's, like, four times more than graffiti removal requests, and those are always up there. You got people in O'Hare-adjacent neighborhoods, and even folks farther out, just fed up with the constant rumble. And then, right behind that, you got almost 2,000 graffiti requests and over 1,500 pothole complaints. Seriously, the potholes are gonna swallow my car whole on the Dan Ryan one of these days.

* Aircraft Noise Complaint: 8,340 requests

* Graffiti Removal Request: 1,968 requests

* Pothole in Street Complaint: 1,527 requests

What does this mean for us? It means folks are noticing what's happening above them, and they're not happy. This isn't just background noise; it's disrupting people's lives. We gotta watch how City Hall responds to this, because 8,340 calls? That's a lot of angry neighbors.

Chi-Town on the wire — you already know.
