HUH???? What hazards of airparks? There has been nothing in this thread
about it!


That was some thread a while ago. Someone was convinced that living at an
airpark was something like a suicide attempt. Data to the contrary was
dismissed as obviously wrong because living near a runway was
pre-determined to be dangerous.


The thread I am reading is pretty fairly discussed by the poster. It
does appear that a bunch got their knickers in a wad over the realities
of airpark hazards. What has been lost is my question as to why
developers were /against/ GA, I had wrongly assumed there were
developers who had sold the + benefits of GA to homebuyers.
