FAA CHALLENGES SANTA MONICA JET BAN


Well, Santa Monica lost about 30 years ago. I am sure they have been
trying to figure a way to ban jets ever since then.

There used to be a huge "NO JETS" on the sloping ground between Bundy
Drive and the approach end of runway 21.

Hopefully the FAA will insist that the city return money used on airport
improvements, or some similar action to convince the city of the error of
its ways.

Mmmm, condos, swimming pools, movie stars. Any payments to FAA will be
covered by the first years' property taxes from redevelopment...JG


No -- that area of Santa Monica is mostly old, rental units, filled with
people like "jgrove," who defecate in everybody else's front yard.

The cost os police, fire, water and sewer will far exceed any increase
in tax revenue.

BTW -- every based plane there contributes 1/3% of its "fair market
value" to the city, 1/3% to the schools and 1/3% to the county.

It does not make any sense to replace a number of $30 million jets with
the same number of $500K houses.

as usual, "jgrove" shows himself to be a complete fool and troll.
