I was in Davis earlier and they have the news crawl over the Middlesex bank and it was lulz abound over the crawl headline about the "constant" airplane nosie" {sic} I stood there for about 2 minutes waiting to cross and guess what- not a single airplane to be heard.

Constant, indeed....

I would have, but I couldn't find any affordable parking.

Hey guys...

You can b*tch all you want about it, but your tax dollars are STILL going to support the legal fees for this. A real bummer! :)

And how high are the legal fees?

Meowing airplanes sounds adorable I agree.. but eventually...... as an owner of two felines even the meowing gets monotonously annoying at times ha.

Really? Then why are the founders of Davis snark posting here instead?

Re: Hey guys...

[nvidia99999.livejournal.com]

Hundred of thousands, if not millions. Somebody said.

[intuition-ist.livejournal.com]

beats me... but the two communities have become more similar over time...

The planes of course will only meow when low on fuel - usually 30 minutes before your alarm is scheduled to go off.

True. At least regarding the issue of airplane noise, which is a completely legitimate issue (since some people are seriously bothered by it), some of the Davis Snark founders post clearly snark both here and on the other board (but mostly here, since the other board is not very visible and their ego needs stroking).

Doesn't the city employ 3 attorneys? And they work just for the city? And this is but one of their cases? I don't think they went to a private firm with this. And I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt the city's attorneys are making millions of dollars.

They must have gotten news of the lawsuit

As of right now, 23:42 EDT, the planes are not flying over Somerville. Is it too early to think we've been successful? I wonder if the more we post in davis_square the more the air traffic controllers are going to avoid sending them our way.

Re: Hey guys...

[nvidia99999.livejournal.com]

I agree. I was citing an "estimate" by one of the "noise is good, STFU" people.

I just called 311, and was transferred to the law department. They told me that they are using both the city attorneys and outside counsel for this law suit. The city attorneys have other duties, so, usually, when there is litigation, an outside litigation firm is used.

So, there are lots of tax dollars going to a law firm.

SO happy I've heard a few planes!!!!!!!
I would hate to not be able to hear such a city sound i've heard my entire life again.
