The guy was not one of the nutjobs who want to close
all airports because they inconvenience him (except when they
actually do need transportation), but he asked politely how
to find information that might help him choose a better place
for him when he moves.

I mean, we do criticize (and rightfully so) people who move
near an airport and then complain about it, but this guy is
actually taking steps to avoid doing just that. Why not
give him some useful info?

The only thing I could think of for him to do would be to
get the relevant sectional and terminal charts and ask a
local pilot to interpret them for him. I'd be more than
happy to do that if he was moving nearby.

I agree.

(My 2 cents) When I was looking for a house in McAllen, TX (MFE), I noted
where the airport was and the houses I was looking at. My friends (and
realtor) kept asking me why I was avoiding certain neighborhoods and I
mentioned that the airlines seem to pass over those. Most realtors don't
have a clue about that.

I have a friend in Cedar Rapids (CID) that lives in the same neighborhood as
the local (head?) controller lives, thus very few planes fly over his house.
