Not everyone can afford to choose a better place to live, but they still deserve reasonable things like quiet at night, clean air and so on.

Homes that are cheap because there’s an airport nearby probably wouldn’t be so cheap if there weren’t an airport nearby.

If house prices are all that matter, then accept that increasing the number of flights at Heathrow will reduce the value. Should the owners be compensated?

It's about 3 million people.

The argument in London is not to close Heathrow, but to stop expanding it.

But in any case, I think it's completely reasonable to demand that toxic fumes are no longer noisily spread over ones house, workplace or school.
