I've heard that the airport bought up the farmland
immediately off the approach ends of the runways to stave off the inevitable
complaints of the homeowners who would be there maybe 10 years down the
line. The city seems to appreciate the airport...

They should develop that land as houses with hangars and taxiways so
people who love aviation would live near the airport and could keep
their planes right there.
