Okay, I am upset. I was communicating with someone who is against noiser barrier walls and this is a reply I received. And when I tried to reply to this post I found the facebook thread was missing and my message was undeliverable. So much for communication. The message I received is posted below:
"Tim also commented on his link:
"The cost/benefit analysis was at the meeting you attended, but you had to read
it and reason through a few things. It gave the benefit, in decibels of noise
reduction, and the varied costs were available from the ODOT staff and the
politicians present. There was a big book full of figures they hoped you
wouldn't read, and you didn't. That's on you. After all this time, if you have
trouble talking to people in your own yard, I'd say it's because you haven't
taken responsibility for things yourself these past 40-50 years. We, Gloria and
I, happen to live on a main throroughfare and have adapted through greenery. You
can do the same, once you get off this dependency kick where you expect for the
government to do everything for you and for everybody else to overpay for it."
