Deaf people have kids and partners who won’t like the noise. You could make an apartment for single deaf people. But that’s like... a very specific group of people.

It would of course be voluntary to move there...

My impression is that the deaf mostly date other deaf people.

Right but is it only for deaf people? If it is, it’s a small effect. If it isn’t, then actually it will just be housing for poor people and “deaf people” becomes a political Trojan horse. Seems like a weird or non solution when perhaps the land should just be zoned for industrial use. Unless I’m not getting something...

If Emperor Regulator, I would maybe make the area a "Designated Noise Zone", which means you have no right to complain about noise there.

Then whoever want to live there under those conditions can do so.

To me, this is better than letting the area go to waste.

I imagine it would be a good deal for deaf people, but if it's the best deal for for some poor people, that's also good in my book.

I don't fully understand your "political Trojan horse" phrase, but we probably have different underlying philosophies.
