Life without the noise ordinance????

 Firestorm over Councilwomen Stacy Mungo's

Prop 13 comments at airport vote 

Having the winning votes to start the process for an International Terminal was not enough for 5th District Councilwomen Stacy Mungo on Tuesday night, the councilwomen added what many consider "insult to injury" of the homeowners. Her  comments have practically gone viral on social media sites.

 After over 2 hours of testimony from homeowners against the airport from all over the city-including her own neighborhood- Mungo told the audience:

 "I want all of you to stay in the homes you're in, but quite frankly if you moved, the city would actually increase its property tax revenue. Because of Prop 13 and your protections, we are not making a decision to get rid of you or move you and... I'm a budget director and I just have to tell you the facts."
