There is, however, a *reason* hangars cost so much he monopoly. One
company, with a suspiciously cozy relationship to the Mobile Airport
Authority, has controlled all the hangars and tiedowns at both municipal
airports for years. No new light aircraft hangars or shelters have been built
in decades. The ones destroyed by Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina were not
replaced. The company simply raised the rates on the surviving ones while
continuing to do zero maintenance. The roofs leak, debris litters the ramps,
weeds grow tall from the cracks. My shelter looks like some relic of the
Soviet Union. If I dared to complain, I might find my airplane pulled
outside.

Wow. And I thought Iowa City's government was corrupt!

Your situation makes our single-party rule (Democrats have held every
elected office in Johnson County since 1957) look like a PTA meeting.

Sorry to hear it, Dan. But there are plenty of great places to live
and own an airplane.
