I am 62 years old. I have lived here for 30 years. The major impact from the airport for us is: the limitation of the height of the buildings and the noise. We get subsidy from the airport and we use it to hold activities or help the residents install the aeroseal windows.

The airport does not bring us much economical benefit. The only advantage of being near the airport is that it is convenient to catch a plane. We suggest the airplanes can be renewed in order to decrease the noise when taking off and landing.

The relocation of the airport has been always an issue. However, there are many different opinions. Some people would like to replace it with a green park while the others like to build more houses and mansions. It’s hard to get everyone satisfied.

We do not expect the airport bring us more tourists because we know we don’t have enough resource to attract them. In our borough, instead, we focus on the maintenance of the living environment. That’s why we have “Aquarium Street,” and we build Ming Fu environmental park for educational and entertainment purpose.
