Letter: Way of life ruined by planes taking off

Should we not consider the change in airplane takeoffs, which has transformed the entire northwestern part of Las Vegas from a peaceful area into a noisy industrial hell, as equivalent to a zone change subject to the jurisdiction of our city and county officials?

Do you remember the fracas about zoning changes when a casino or even a pharmacy was allowed into a residential neighborhood? The growling and grumbling of those jets every minute from 6 in the morning until sometimes even 2 the next morning seem to me much worse than a neighborhood location of a pharmacy or a casino.

What are our elected representatives doing about this outrage performed against our once-peaceful residences?
