My hunch is them most FT people live within 45 min of a major airport. I've lived within 1 mile of my current address for 47 years. You don't buy a house in this area without taking many things under consideration. Fortunately airplane noise was never one of them. Checkin and security at EWR is already a terrible ordeal and parking near any monorail stop already costs $25/day. I've also had the longest waits for any flights at EWR. They already pad in so much time to make on-time arrivals from EWR it's crazy. My last flight was from SWF - clearly a NY airport under-utilized!! My next flight will be from BWI because it's easier than the JFK alternative for me.
