Yru, That is an astute observation. Stated differently, the number of potential buyers (demand) isRead More decreased, which in turn decreases the property values and taxable values that the city's revenue is largely based on. For further information on this including economists' studies on the subject, impact on real estate and appraisals, and economic development please consider spending a few minutes at the Plymouth Quiet Zones website, which you can access via the petition.

Purchase a home within the distance in which the train horn can be heard? You mean in Plymouth? IRead More live many blocks from the train and still find the noise disturbing. Noise pollution is something that effects everyone in the community. Some noise is unavoidable, however this is one instance where it is entirely avoidable. The auto industry spends millions to make cars and trucks run quieter and then we have trains with ear-piercing horns in the middle of the night. Doesn't make sense to me.

Even if there was a no horn time between 11pm to 5 am would be a great improvement. I'm all aboutRead More safety, but honestly..have would seen plymouth streets between those hours? Besides, the cross bars are still down and the safety bells still ring when trains are in the vicinity.i would love to attend a community meeting regarding this.
