Vintage.es has some pix of East Boston after Logan Airport was built next door. Impressive testimony to the disruptive power of NOISE. Most of the pix show a jet airplane taking off from the airport. The planes are so close you could almost reach up and touch them. Everyone is holding their fingers in their ears.
The photographer was working for EPA, which was trying to establish noise regulations. In its first few years EPA was doing positive things. Lead is BAD, and lead control laws made a real difference. Noise is BAD, and noise control laws made a real difference.
After EPA joined the Carbon Cult it switched to pure destruction.
Parkinson as always. After the real mission is completed, an agency should be repealed or minimized. Otherwise it turns to crime.
