While many Americans lack the knowledge to
see it this way, airports are just as important an element of the public
transportation infrastructure as roadways and waterways, both of which are
readily acknowledged as worthy of public monies.

When SATS* is eventually implemented, municipal airports will become
indispensable. But there won't be any place left to build them,
because the city governments chose to close them and build strip
malls. :-(
