re: Uptown neighbors file class action lawsuit against Children's Hospital over helicopter

There is no loss in value. They still live in one of, if not the most, exclusive areas.

You seriously believe there will be no loss of value with increased helicopter flights over the homes?

No one is telling their realtor that area is a no-go because of 30 minutes of potential noise every couple weeks.

Are you aware of how often helicopters land and takeoff from major hospitals?

Unless that is actually what is being claimed, which Scruffy will be very surprised about, but major hospitals receive flights at least a few times daily and nightly.

Look, Scruffy doesn’t disagree that any suit like this looks terrible, but if this hospital didn’t obtain proper permits and it is screwing with the welfare of the surrounding citizens, that is incredibly fricked up.

They shouldn’t get a pass just because they are a children’s hospital.

There was a big deal made when that helicopter went into service because it was named for a young girl whose family was high society NOLA. I believe she was killed in an ATV accident,
It was a great way to honor her and now folks are in an uproar.
Think of it this way you ingrats - every time you hear that helicopter fly, it is probably saving a child’s life.

I posted about them on the first page lol

I want to get on the jury for this shite.

This hospital averages just over 2 flights a day.

Yes. Have become acutely aware of the situation since the signs started popping up.

These frickers are makinf a mound out of a molehill.

Lowered home values? Lmao that’s not true at all

We were visiting friends in NOLA when our 6 month old baby had a fibril seizure. We rushed her by ambulance to Children's were she recouped fine. The fine staff at Children's will forever be in our hearts*.

*However, no love for the entitled uptown trash.

“The flights, takeoffs, and landings occur randomly at all hours of the day and night and emit deafening sounds and vibrations significant enough to cause physical and mental discomfort, property damage, and annoyance,” according to the lawsuit.

HOW DARE CHILDREN HAVE SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS AT RANDOM TIMES DURING THE DAY!!!

THINK OF THE PROPERTY VALUES!!!

Thirty minutes potentially every few weeks?

It’s an active helicopter pad that’s used daily

So what? Try living within a few miles of a major airport or the Texas Medical Center. Helicopters and planes go overhead all the time. Helicopters traveling from regional airports to the Texas Medical Center go over my house all the time. Yet property values keep going up because people keep moving here for work.

Sometimes when there's a low or loud helicopter, I'll check FlightAware out of curiosity and see that it's going from a suburban or small town airport to the medical center. Never once have I thought, "someone should sue them for the minor distraction of hearing them transport someone in dire need of emergency medical attention." You'd have to be an incredibly entitled piece of shite to worry about that.
