New Yorkers plugging ears stall FAA replacing radar

The point is that those residents have the right for a quiet life and the airports are definitely needed by people who want to fly, including those who live under the flight path during either takeoff or landing.
Unsolvable dilemma? Definitely, no.

First, the airport has to be there no matter what irrespective of the noise-related complaints. The residents who live at the flight path are divided into two groups:
•    The residents who live at the area before the establishment of the airport can be monetarily compensated to live in quiet areas.
•    The residents who started to live at the area after building the airport have no right to complain and consequently no compensation whatsoever.

Is that fair? Well, we have to think of something out of the box as long as there are no passenger airplanes which can land vertically like helicopters.

This is the comment of Brian F. Will written on 30 June 2013:

Residents who moved to Queens after the airport was built have every right to complain.
They bought homes under the previous airspace conditions. These previous conditions allowed the home buyers to be able to hear the real estate agent who sold them the house. Few would have bought homes here under the current conditions, where 700 flights per day have been redirected Flushing and Bayside, some of the few remaining working class neighborhoods in NYC. These flights are also at lower altitudes than ever (to save fuel), and at shorter intervals of 30 seconds (NextGen).
The airport is FULL. Capacity has MAXED OUT. New airports were needed decades ago, and were never built.

Thank you for the clarification.
Based on the comment of Brian F. Will, my statement regarding the two groups will be modified as follows:
• The residents who live at the area before applying the new departure route can be monetarily compensated to live in quiet areas.
• The residents who started to live at the area after applying the new departure route have no right to complain and consequently no compensation whatsoever.
