General Aviation Dead?
Good arguments. But I always use this:
The highest economic use of a piece of land is not always the most desirable use. Consider city parks. They produce no tax revenue, on the contrary, they require upkeep so consume taxes. What?? Then let's remove them! Replace them with condos, homes, businesses, and maybe a gasoline station or two. The problem is few would want to live in a city like that. Likewise, it might be that a local GA airport is not the highest economic use of the land...so what? BD Orval Fairbairn writes: Slight problem there -- it seems that at least part of the airport was granted "in perpetuity" -- what part of that clause don't you understand? SMO is a center for transportation for many of the prouducers in the area, rather than for the looters, moochers and drones who wish to close it. The only problem with that is that AA doesn't necessarily take you where you want to go; SMO can, and does so. You can go to anywhere in the world from SMO or any other GA airport -- and -- you don't have to depend on somebody else's schedule or routes. -- Weak eyes are fondest of glittering objects. --Thomas Carlyle |

Park trees produce OXYGEN, why does Orval hate oxygen atoms ? |
