If one is concerned about airport noise, don't buy or build a house near one.
You most obviously haven't read the articles related to this issue. Some of the neighborhoods affected, including Sauganash, really aren't anywhere near O'Hare. I'm in Lakeview, a pretty good distance from O'Hare and even *I* am bothered by flight noise now that the flight patterns have changed.
Those people deserve those property tax reductions.
