You Just Can't Please Some Tools, er, People

Posted by Jim McKinney on

So...the Kalamazoo Speedway will get a reprieve, temporarily I'm sure, but some residents in Alamo township still aren't happy.  Two words - SHUT UP.  Do you people realize that if that ordinance goes into effect, your neighbors who do not like you can have you ticketed for mowing your lawn?  Look it up Einsteins...82 decibels is NOTHING...garbage trucks make more noise than that...want to take care of your own?  Want to not use any power tools or things like leaf blowers, chain saws, snowblowers. etc?  Then push for your precious ordinance.  Sure...you'll probably close the Speedway...cars do have a tendency to make noise (ever listen to yours - 70 decibels IF it's running normally)...but any kind of new construction will go bye bye, too...trucks are at 100.  And if ANYTHING registers more than 82 decibels...including a screaming child, which measures out at 90...the offender would be subject to a ticket, given a nearby person's annoyance.  Yep...Alamo Township will be known as the "Quiet Township"...and the last one out can turn out the lights...if it doesn't make too much noise.
