Seattle

Per Wikipedia

the average home price [in Laurelhurst] is approximately $1.85 million [...] The LCC has also restricted parking for hospital staff in the surrounding area, requiring employees to use a satellite lot and shuttle. The council has opposed hospital expansion efforts since the 1980s.

No sympathy. They want all the benefits of being rich and privileged in a society, but don't believe they should have to accommodate anyone else in that society. They're wannabe-Lords who don't care if the peasants suffer, add long as the view (and noise) from the Manor House is pretty.

Must be nice, having a life where your biggest problem is the occasional helicopter flying overhead.

Oh, Laurelhurst.

When the food riots start, remember that the U District / U Village is basically next door to you, and ya'll are very old and slow.

The needling, Seattle's lovely local onion style rag, has a very reasonable response:

Report: Laurelhurst Residents Blocking Helicopter Landings at Seattle Children’s Ain’t Heard Shit Yet

If I were one of those patients (or their parent) whose life-saving helicopter ride unfortunately made one of those special people hear a "whup whup whup" in the distance, I'd be writing letters to everyone who complained at that meeting and their next few neighbors in every direction. Might be a coin toss to determine whether the complainer gets the polite or rude version.

Unlikely to be read by them anyway but hopefully some shit-stirring with others nearby would spill over. If Nextdoor is any indication, neighbor drama always sells.

The lack of empathy is nauseating. Imagine making it your business to harass and hobble a children's hospital for 40-odd years.

2021, we're all in the depths of the covid crisis, hospital staff are already beyond overworked, and you're gonna moan that they haven't provided documentation to justify last month's emergencies to a frigging community council group?

Rotten little over-entitled hoarders. Good on the people keeping this filthy business in the public eye.

fucking ghouls.

My proposal: fly helicopters over the area several times a day, with no patients on board. This will normalize the sound of helicopters, which they apparently find so horribly intrusive and disruptive.

Since there is nobody to bill, spread the costs among this community, perhaps focusing on the loudest complainers. I suspect the “problem” will somehow resolve itself after that.

I'm not sure the Laurelhurst neighborhoods kids need to be treated at that hospital.

I'm not so sure these dipshits have a right to have such a stupid fucking opinion heard. They disgust me so much I want them to experience consequences that would traumatize them for the rest of their lives. It's a shame we don't live in a just universe where stupidity like theirs is corrected with brutal force.
