You have got to be kidding. When Mather started being used as a commercial airport, there were no homes in the flight path. Developers then built homes there and now the people are complaining about the noise? Did they think airplanes would be silent?

The cities of Folsom and Rancho Cordova and counties of Sacramento and El Dorado will need to work together to build consensus towards a win-win resolution.
