The departure procedures to the east are absurd and

There's a complainer that lives off the western end of the runway at 47N.
They
initiated a procedure to try to placate her. Every aircraft was expected
to make a 45
degree left turn about 100 yards from the end of the runway. About a year
after that
went into effect, a Cherokee stalled immediately after turning and
pancaked into a
golf course, killing both occupants. They're back to straight out
departures now.

Does the lady in question know the seriousness of what she initiated?
