As a north suburb resident, I agree completely with your comments and wish the state would get it thru it's head that ORD is THE airport for Chicago business and do whatever is necessary to make it work. The only people who I think have a valid beef are those who lived in the ORD area before the airport was built. For anyone who bought a house near an airport to complain about noise is stupid and selfish. They should just be ignored, and the few who were there before the airport compensated.
Good topic!
