My guess are special interest groups financed this bill, those with upper middle class incomes and more money to throw away than the rest of us. These are high income residents lining the east and west side of Manhattan and must be annoyed of hearing helicopters and airplanes flying the Hudson corridor designated by the FAA for local flights made up largely of tourists and occasional private pilots taking in the views. I would love to fly the Hudson corridor, day or night. I visit a water front park next to the Throgs Neck Bridge, just east of KLGA with business helicopters coming and going from Long Island Sound to the east or west side heliports. Floatplanes too. Low flying as they cross KLGA airspace, under 1500(?) feet. Aircraft noise mingled in with nearby highway traffic. All part of NYC hustle and bustle. Noise is part of NYC. No one forced rich people to take up residence in high rise buildings near heliports, east or west side of Manhattan’s skyline.
