Yes, Jimmy, there is good reason to live in the other 95% of the land in this country, other then the metro/suburban areas. My heart does go out to you guys! However, I believe in your resourcefulness.

The publics moving into areas with established entities which may conflict with their idea of the pastoralness of their neighborhoods, is a long standing battle! Look how neighborhoods pop up near airports, both major hubs and small general aviation airports and then the neighbors organize and have the "Gumption" to complain and do something about the noise!

When I grew up, my family lived below one of the approach ends of Wold Chamberlain's (Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport) flight pattern. When the parents built this home, they new this to be the case and the airplanes flying over, were all propeller driven at that time. When the early 1960s arrived, so did the Turbo-prop and the noise increased. In the mid to late 60s the jet age hit with the Boeing 707 and the noise really increased. However, the family understood we had chosen to build there knowing full well what had previously existed! We didn't know it would get as loud as it did; but, still felt we had no right to complain, as the airport had been there when we built!

These times have obviously changed! We're a country of whiners and complainers and understand full well that with money, we can do whatever we like! The idea of what is right and what is wrong no longer exists in these cases. Good Luck!
