    Ruapuna noise complaints

    In todays Press ... "The roar of racing cars filled the Christchurch City Council chambers yesterday as residents near the Ruapuna raceway put their case for noise relief."

    Why do you assume their either lefty and/or green. Sound more like the similar auckland and wellington arseholes, who moaned about their respective close race tracks (or in wellingtons case, a once-a-year street race). Right leaning fuckers who were happy to pay the cheaper prices that the "noise" creates, and then moan about the noise in order to get it culled and raise their house prices.

    The worst of those fuckers are the ones who buy the yuppie inner city apartments and then moan incesantly about all the noise. "WANT QUIET MOVE TO THE FUCKER BURBS YOU WHINNEY LITTLE BITCHES".

    Sorry but this shit pisses me the fuck off more than most. I LOVED the Wellington street race as a kid. It wasn't even the racing, just the whole atmosphere.

    I maintain the same line of argument as I did with Western Springs...

    You are entitled to complain if (and only if) you lived there BEFORE the raceway was proposed.

    Otherwise you knew what you were buying into and can therefore get stuffed.

    My response to the article
    "All those that purchased near the Ruapuna Raceway before the raceway was proposed should complain long and loud.

    Everyone esle needs to acknowledge they knew exactly what they were buying into, their discomfort is their own fault for buying there, they can get off the bandwagon, and soundproof their homes if they see fit."

    Bugger them. I'm sick of people whinging about their own shortcomings and expecting compensation for their own messes

    fuck it - I feel all ranty now...

    Ditto.

    It's just like those who purchased a house in Wigram Chch and complain about Wigram Airbase noise. Duh, the land your house is on used to be part of that airbase. Besides, there are nice piston powered planes flying from there, unlike Chch airport.

    If the residences were complaining about the boy racer noise, I can understand that.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    Yeah I can almost see both side of the story - if they bought the property and knew the track was there then they should not complain right?? They were aware from day one... I suppose the people that were there before should have started complaining a long time ago, the track has been there a while now.

    However people who go to Ruapuna will be able to tell you quite a few of the roads around there are now being frequented by boy racing "events" - the road leading to Ruapuna is a rubbish dump with all the stuff being thrown out of windows, beer bottles in fact all sorts of crap...

    I suppose they must really be tired of all the "racing stuff" - they deal with the tracks noise, but they have to deal with other racing if you really want to call it that...

    Sorry went of on a tangent now...

    I agree MDU, its the same arguement as Western Springs.

    No worries with that - in fact the same argument holds for them... if they (boi racers) are responsible - hold them responsible for the noise and the mess. Don't close the raceway down because of something beyond their control.

    Hell - every McDs in the country would be shut down years ago if they were responsible for all the golden arches rubbish on the streets

    I reckon the people have had their fill... they should just direct their "fight" better, closing Ruapuna would be a disaster

    Some of these cretins move to a 'quiet' lifestyle block, then bitch about the dawn chorus, cows mooing and all the other noise that happens out there.
    That's the problem with modern life, too many idiots - not enough bullets.
