Oh, I see -- that's different then.

Actually it is. There's a difference between saying "We need to build
an airport lets do it away from the city." And "our town has been
expanding, in fact we've grown so large we're right to the each of the
river and the edge of the airport."
The end result might be the same, but the methodolgy is different.
