Default County Vote Forecasts Airport Closure of San Jose, California’s Reid-Hillview airport (RHV)

So, closure of RHV airport will curtail San Jose State University’s
Aviation Department RHV flight operations
http://www.sjsu.edu/avtech/programs/...sional_flight/ thus
exacerbating the looming pilot shortage, and likely cause additional
congestion and delays in airline operations at San Jose International
Airport (SJC).

Given your history of passionately supporting the closure of airports
around the country, what would you propose to mitigate the impact
closure RHV will impose on pilot training operations and the increase
of congestion at SJC? Surely you're able to envision creative
solutions to the issues closing RHV will impose on the NAS.

It is unclear to me how constructing proposed residential housing on
the former RHV site will provide the "greatest public benefit."
Perhaps you are able to articulate your reasoning supporting that
premise?

Any cretin can be destructive, but it takes intelligence, knowledge,
skill, work, and insight to be creative.


Any programs worth while can move to Moffet. RHV is in the middle of a residential area ripe for upgrading.

"Moffett Field also hosts three university branch campuses--San Jose State University's (SJSU) Metropolitan Technology Center, Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley, UC Santa Cruz, and Singularity University. These are within the base primarily to support the academic and research collaboration between these institutions and NASA Ames." per Wikipedia
