It's happened in every place since the Wright brothers.

- Build an airport;
- Govt caves in to vocal developers, selling residential land around it but with "noise insulation";
- Wait thirty years or so;
- Noise complaints increase;
- Restrict airport business.

A very few airports restricted the building of houses altogether, breaking the chain. They have fewer problems down the track.
