I am trying to organize neighbors in Beacon Hill and the Central District. Since about June of this year, and, as I write this, the planes have been roaring nonstop all day long seven days a week practically over 15th Avenue South to 12th Avenue South. I have found some federal laws that may assist in filing an injunction against the FAA and the Port to cease in the disproportionate exposure to airplane noise that ours and other southend neighborhoods have been experiencing. Please contact me at seawabear@yahoo.com
Thank you!
