Reno Police Seek 2-hour Nap for Bars

don't move there, it's like moving next to a airport and complaining about constant flights over your house.

Holy you-know my city is on the front page!!!! Woo Hoo!!!

justathought- I couldn't agree with you more. As I was reading I was thinking it was like buying a house next to Railroad tracks and complaining to CSX, or buying a house on a golf course and getting pissed about finding PRO V-1's in your flower bed. Like my Sgt. says, you knew the job was dirty when you took it. You knew about the night life when you decided to buy the house.

Also, charging bars for a certain amount of calls for service? I see that going well. Bar owner A doesn't like bar owner B, so bar owner A calls in non stop petty BS and has officers out there all night. Riiight, great idea. It is our job to repond to calls, and the bars already pay for it, it is called taxes.

It happened here. Kent State Univ owns an airport in Stow. It has been there for about 40 years. About 15 years ago, a subdivision was put in directly in the flight path...actually, pretty much at the end of the runway. Neighbors complained, and got the Univ to agree to move out in the next like 5 years. Don't move into an entertainment district, and expect peace and quite. Don't move next to an airport, and assume that the planes will bet quiet. Don't move next to railroad tracks, and figure the trains won't blow the whistle at night, when you are trying to sleep!!!

4-6 for sleep? Get real. If things are that loud, move somewhere else. I live near a major airport, railroad, and golf course. When I get tired of it, I will move on down the road.

Same thing happen in Folsom, CA and in Tustin, CA. Both cities grew from small towns to now where their population is between 72,000 to 75,000 people.

They had to close the Marine Air Base in Tustin in 1997 because the developers were building houses all around and closer the airbase. The end result was that the home owners were complaining about all the flights coming in and taking off from the airbase. The trouble was one of the developers was a former Marine himself and didn't seem to care about what was happening as long as he made a profit from all the housing projects.

In Folsom, that city is in the flight path of aircraft that was landing at Mather Air Force base. When the Air Force left Mather, the commerical freight companies like Fed Express took over the operations and started landing at all hours. The citizens complain about it; however, the city officicals should have known what would happen if they let their city expanded particulary when people from the East Bay move up to Folsom because the company Intel set up a manufacturing plant in the area.

It was a sad day when they closed the rail depot in my area. I love to hear the trains going by my area at all hours of the day.
