I’ve lived under a flight path, ~9km/6miles from the airport - while I understand the difference between a 787 and a Cessna 172, I’ve got no earthly idea why anyone would choose to have a runway in their front yard.
I lived adjacent to a neighborhood like this. It was much quieter than middle aged neighbors with Harley’s. Little Cessnas and Pipers are not that loud.
I live basically across the street from an Air Force base so I get turboprops over the house at 1,000 feet starting at about 7:00 5-6 days a week. Doesn’t bother me or my wife, we just like planes.
It’s a training base so we’ve got both here. I’m just on the prop side. Cargo planes are super fun too, used to fly C-17s over my old house all the time before we moved here.
Must be lovely to hear your neighbor fire up their Cessna at 7 in the morning for their morning commute.
Enjoy being stuck behind the asshole in a C130 with trucknutz.
Thank you, this gave me a good chuckle.

Because us plane people have a crippling addiction…
Haha - like most addictions, this feels a lot like self-harm.
For the people living there I am sure that’s a feature, not a bug.

I imagine the people living there probably don’t need to commute at all anymore, or if they do, it’s definitely not at 7 in the morning.

I love planes, but I wouldn’t want to live next to a fighter base. Cargo planes are super cool though

You won’t commute like this lol
