how about implications to surrounding residential communities?

i suppose it will be noisier on the designated takeoff end of a runway than on the designated landing end, since the engines are at full blast on takeoff.

also, a crash on takeoff will have more fuel than on landing ...

there is an airport about to be built around 10km from where I live, and my house is within the approach/departure cone of one of the smaller runways. My concern is not so much on safety/noise but more on the impact on residential real estate values.
