I am one of the Livermore homeowners who DID NOT BUY A HOME IN THE LANDING <br /> PATH OF THE AIRPORT! <br /> When I purchased my home 11 years ago there was no real estate disclosure required as I am not supposed to be in a <br /> "landing path". I live off of Highland Street near First Street-not exactly near the airport. Yet in the past few years, I have <br /> been subjected to excessive noise and pollution from large jets landing so low I can see their landing gear coming down. <br /> This starts as early as five a.m. and goes on all day with little respite. Some days, I have counted 5 landings in less than <br /> 20 minutes and over 35 or more for the day. Many exceed the city's limits for noise-80 decibels or more as measured by <br /> my phone app. I have filed complaints with the airport, the former Mayor-Bob Woerner, and the City of Livermore. I have <br /> never received even one response! This was not a problem in my neighborhood until the airport decided to expand <br /> without considering the effect on residents and citizens of Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin. The present airport location <br /> is not safe or conducive to this type of expansion. I can no longer sit outside and enjoy my garden, I, like many other <br /> residents am seriously considering selling my home and moving away from Livermore. <br /> My family has been here for over 60 years. and I grew up here. I am saddened to see that corporate profits now take <br /> precedent over the health and safety of Livermore. Pleasanton. and Dublin residents. I would not want to have my <br /> children near the lead pollution nor my family near the extreme noise pollution that this airport continues to spew. <br /> 1 <br />
