Default Which Came First, the Santa Monica Airport, Or Those Who Chose To Build Their Homes Adjacent To It?

Usually airports come first, and they bring in traffic that helps a city to
grow, and then people build next to the airport, and then they complain about
the very thing that helped them to have a city in the first place.

Maybe some of these people complaining should take a flight into the airport
with the runways blocked and see how they feel about it then. After they
change into dry underwear, they might be more willing to give safety priority
over their own selfishness.

Is there any airport anywhere with _arriviste_ neighbors who _don't_ complain
about the noise?

Does anyone remember how much noisier airports used to be?
