Is it in a "congested area" of the city?

The desire for safety stands against every great and noble

enterprise.

Define congested. Therein is the rub.

Regulations for homebuilts, at one time, did not allow flight over congested
areas. After a period of time, no one cared when they flew anywhere they
wanted. The regs were changed, as I recall, with a ruling, rather than a
re-write.

Seems to me the same condition exists with ultralights. Stay above 500 ft,
or high enough to stretch a glide to an area where an emergency landing is
possible and safe, and nothing will be said.

Can anyone cite examples of people being told not to fly somewhere? (other
than controlled airspace)
