Yes, and no (as usual !). What would you do if you never got something attractive but, in lieu, you received day by day, all the garbage from it ? You would complain, and it's purely natural. That was the first point. Now imagine a neighbour, farmer, who sends over your hedge all his old pig manure under the pretext that your garden is beside his fields ? You would complain again. That was the second point.Fairfax wrote: ↑22 Feb 2017, 10:50What bothers me the most (reading an older post on p. 15): if we follow this reasoning, this means that if more Brussels inhabitants worked at the airport, if more economic benefits would go to Brussels, if more passengers from Brussels used the airport .... there would be less of a problem (!!!) I saw the same rhetoric in the comments of a newspaper (in short: it's not our airport; if it was, it would be another story)sn26567 wrote: ↑21 Feb 2017, 16:51 Now let's be fair, Sean. Flanders has most of the jobs at the airport (WAL: 2400, BRU: 3000, VL:14600, data from Brussels Airport); Flanders has most of the economic benefits; Flanders represents probably also most of the Belgian travellers. Why wouldn't Flanders have most of the noise as well, in proportion with the benefits? The "hautain" Brusseleirs have also the right to have a quiet night.
Purely Belgium sh*t.
