Arriving traffic that transitions the class C will be vectored to
the start of the local arrival procedure and nowhere else.

I think that unlikely.

You can think anything you like.

That is what happens.

If you are so sure of yourself, try going through the Class C and
tell them you want to turn for a straight in to CCB 24 and see what
happens.

So, to sum it up, we have a local VFR procedure that has been in
existance for decades, has had no safety issues, has been willingly
followed by thousands of pilots without complaint, and is implicitly
endorsed by the actions of ATC at two towers.

How do you know there have been no safety issues?

Don't be a childish, petulant, ass.

Because no one has ever claimed there was.

Because there are no incident or accident reports.

Sounds OK to me and I think I will continue to follow the procedures.

That's fine, you're free to follow them if you choose. Just as anyone is
free to decline to participate. The problem is that many pilots may not
know that they're strictly voluntary.

Not knowing they are voluntary is totally irrelevant and hardly a
problem.

Any pilot that doesn't know they are voluntary is ignorant, which is
a totally separate issue.

BTW, here's a web site you might want to visit:

http://www.faa.gov

This organization encourages and supports the concept of local noise
abatement procedures and pilots following them as long as:

They are not discriminitory.

They don't produce a special right.

They are safe.

They don't conflict with law.
